Here is a shot of a tree swallow feeding one of its fledglings.
Shot on monopod in available light with Canon 7D2, Canon 600 f/4 IS II + 1.4 TCIII, f/8, 1/1250, ISO 640.
My critique...the background crossing sticks are a bit of a distraction. I cropped off the baby's left wing tips to improve the composition as it looked worse with it included but I do have it. Nictitating membrane is on the adult but this is natural as it always uses it while coming in for feeding so it is nature...even though would be nice to see the eye...on my approach shots from the same sequence the eye is open until it is right up close to the baby.
