The reflection off of the foreground chick had me confused, trying to figure out what exactly the bright spot was, but how can I say anything negative about a pic full of chicks?! I love how you got so many of their little eyes looking at you!

Hmm - looks a little soft to me. But then, chicks are, aren't they? Depends what you wanted to do. Personally, I would have stopped down (can't see the exif, but looks like a wide open aperture to me) and put the focus on the nearest chick. Also, I daresay that they weren't going anywhere fast so maybe you could have gotten a better composition - put the nearest chick on the thirds intersection?

The sidelight is good - you've got a good lighting angle there with good modelling in the feathers.

Can't believe I'm banging on so much about a bunch of chicks!

HTH

Default The trouble is...

The problem with photographing them was a 3.5 foot wall that they were enclosed in and everytime I stretched my camera down in there they all shuffled to the opposite side and got in a huddle formation. I could hardly see what I was capturing, save my LCD flip screen. Thanks for the comments everyone!
