Beautiful image Karl. Love the crisp detail, vivid color and pleasing bg.

This is a really sweet image, Karl. Nothing not to like here. Great DOF to cover both birds. Love the habitat and that the chick is below the BG transition. Not sure what the black stuff in the BG right behind the chick is, perhaps a tree trunk, but I'd clone it out.

Nice image Karl.
Love the little chick.
Just wish the parent had a better head position ie. looking at the chick or towards us.
Nice POV with nice FG and BG.
