The first one is cropped to show detail, the second and third are full frame shots. Your comments & critique are welcome. And thanks for looking.

Welcome to BPN, Sivaprasad! Very nice first post, please keep in mind only to post one image per post. I like the feeding action, details and exposure control. I wish the chick were facing you more. Keep them coming!

Big Welcome !!!

I like tight crop and careful cutting not clipping !!!! Great captured behavior Would only lighten the chicks eye a bit Looking forward to many more.

I agree I could tweak that a little bit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Judy and Bob, Thanks for your comments.

Here is an updated version.. with smart sharpening, usm applied and a different crop with minor saturation adjustment. Plus cleaned up the droppings on the tree bark and tried to bring some more clarity around the eyes.
