I was perusing my images from last year anf found this. Yes, it is busy, that is where the nest was located, but the eyes coming over the nest edge with shell fragments and leaves around make this image work for me.

PeekaBoo. Way up on cuteness scale. Have you considered a tighter crop around the baby?

Dan- This is a full frame. For my purposes, I wanted an environmental feel for the shot. I picked this out of about 400 images I made at that blind. Cropping, for me , would cut out the important information of the nest debris and what is really there. I have enough head and close shots. This is unique among the shots.
KK- There was no flash used. I did dodge the very faint catchlight on the right eye so it matched the left. Flash was not allowed at this location.

Steve,

This is definitly a "cute" image. I like it as is without anymore crop.

Thanks,
