About the Image(s)
The Central Florida PSA Chapter recently went on a 3 day field trio to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. In addition to 600 alligators. The Farm is also host to a very busy rookery, and our visit was coincidental with mating and nesting season for many species. Here, two baby egrets wait for their mother to bring some food.

I really like this photo. I love how you caught the babies (must be a name for them) interacting like this. The background is subdued and certainly doesn't detract from the egrets. If there is anything to criticise about this photo it would be that the one on the left is looking away from us. It certainly would be nice if it was facing us, although not always possible. Well done! Posted: 05/10/2023 16:50:49

Craig's photograph of two baby egrets with their beaks open, awaiting their next meal, is an excellent example of wildlife photography. The image showcases both the beauty of nature and the photographer's ability to capture a meaningful moment in time.
The composition of the photograph is well-executed, with the baby egrets placed as the main focus. The choice of the blue sky as a background effectively highlights the white feathers of the birds, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains on the subjects. This bold color contrast contributes to the image's overall visual appeal.
The sharpness of the feathers is another noteworthy aspect of the photograph. This level of detail provides the viewer with a closer look at the baby egrets' plumage, adding an element of realism and depth to the image. It also showcases the photographer's technical skills in capturing the fine details of a subject.
Overall, Craig's photograph is an engaging and informative look into the lives of baby egrets in their natural habitat. The image balances its artistic elements with its practical, educational value. It encourages viewers to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the importance of preserving it. Great work, Craig! Posted: 05/10/2023 18:57:22

Craig,
What a great experience! Never been to that place, but I think you just talked me into it!
I love the story of the two checks competing for attention. I wish there was a little separation between the two birds. The neck of the one ofn the right seems to merge with the bidy of the one on the left. I see the eye of the one on the right, but not the one on the left. The hardest thing to get right with egrets is the whites. Try darkening the highlights, so we can get more detail for on the backs of the birds. Posted: 05/13/2023 10:40:31
