Nice composition.The little chicks out in the open under their mothers watchful eye convey a sense of safety and security.Thanks for sharing.

It is interesting to see the chick's leg is raised as its mom's. It would have been fantastic if the chick would have been slight behind and appeared within the leg of the mom. May be a lower angle would have helped in getting that. Nevertheless it is a nice evening scene with mom and kids at a distance. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Nice to see the chicks in open. The evening light sets a nice mood to the image. Agree a lower angle would have enhanced the image further. Thanks for sharing.
