Cute facial expression. Love those stick legs too. I think I would have cropped some off the left to off-center the subject. Nice image.

I really like the idea behind this shot, and love that you got down low and face to face, so to beak. (oops, speak.) I think a just slightly wider depth of field would have brought a tiny bit more of the shot into focus while still clearly separating the front bird from the pack. Bravo on an interesting and thought provoking shot!

It looks like the leader is organizing an attack on the photographer. Nice DOF

Very similar to another shot in this challenge.

I think the grass detracts a bit from your image as it's a little lacking in colour, a white background would have greatly enhanced this IMO as the composition with the adults legs forming a V out of frame is very nice and frames the child really well. Maybe a little over saturated on the Reds.
