Excellent image of cute ones with mouth open. Very nice head angles of all the three. Beautiful colour pallet.
Nice composition.Would love to see in vertical composition. Love the frame, Keith.

Satish.

Splendid work Keith! You have a winner here!

[Joseph Przybyla]

Lovely image, Keith. Nice head angles, and detail. The open mouths and sand banking tell a story of being hungry and where they live. Thanks for sharing.

[Ian Wilson]

Gorgeous capture Keith. I agree with Satish that a portrait crop would be an interesting option and perhaps some selective area sharpening on the birds. Regards, Ian.

Excellent work Keith, well seen. Agree on maybe a touch more selective sharpening

Thanks guys, Satish will look into what you say ,good idea, Ian and Mike on my repost I have added a small amount of sharping and it looks a bit over sharpened on my monitor, could be these old eye of mine, let me know what you think please

[Mike Poole]

Always a tricky thing to get right as everybody's ideas of correct sharpening vary. For me the RP is the better of the two, but it is subtle

Hello Keith!

What cutie-pies!

Love this, wonderful pose, very well captured, and lovely colours indeed.

I am happy with the crop and presentation, but felt the RP still needed further sharpening - tried it selectively but those areas become a tad crunchy. A bit more ISO would have been good IMO, 1/320s just not enough.

Sweet little baby birds, hope you have more on them, enjoyed viewing, very much:w3

Kind regards,

[keith mitchell]

Thanks Gabriela much appreciated.
