I love the ambiance on this shot. Also, I love the fact that the two birds are almost indiscernible from their shadows.

Thank you! I found the two little Coot chicks unbearably cute.

It's all those muscles that Ozzie birds are born with!

I really like the use of negative space.

Thanks! It was tempting to crop more tightly, but I wanted to highlight how tiny the chicks were in a big, wide world.

Good picture, I would prefer higher ISO, say like 400?

Thanks! A higher ISO to try to get more shadow detail? With the afternoon sun behind the subject, the contrast was very high.
