I spent some hours making images of the pair or birds with their young chick.
The light wasn't good, because the birds were badly backlit.
Later the light became a bit better and I was able to make this intimate image of the three together; mother presenting a small feather to the chick.
I could see that behaviour four or five times; mother feeding the chick with a small feather; I don't know the reason for that?

I am not sure, if the image is too dark, but I tried some versions and like the darker version more, than a brighter one.

Rosl,

A difficult lightening situation to be sure. I think that the darker version was probably the way to go to. I wish for more eye contact but the interaction of the adult and chicks makes up for that. Thanks for posting here and I hope that you will post some more panos in the future.
