I like the interaction, strange feeding way I see them do it all the time.
image is quite soft though.
Looks a little soft yes, nice action though. Do you have any info about this hydroblind? :)
What kind of info?Quote:

I would also lighten the eye of the front bird, or enhance the catchlight if one is there.
I'm sure Dan means that you could use some more sharpening as posted as this is what I notice too.
Beautiful capture of bird behavior and I like the composition as well. The wind appears to be blowing the young bird's feathers up which adds to the shot. The eye on the juvenile is very intense as well. The image could use some leveling which would make it look better.....a little rotation in the counterclockwise direction. Helpful comments above as well.

Hola 1berto, Alberto?
Any ways, nice interaction here, I find the action interesting but may be you should try to take this images early in the morning or late in the afternoon since the light seems to be harsh, but still the exposure looks fine.
Good to see you posting here, and I hope to keep on seeing your photographs!:)
I mean a link to an image, information whether it's a commercial product we can look at buying from a shop etc.... :)Quote:

1berto means Humberto (in portuguese 1 is um, and when you pronounce Humberto the "H" doesn't do do nothing, "Hum" is like "um", so Humberto is like umberto=1berto) ;)Quote:

Very cool Humberto, I like the blog entry but will need to view the video from home later. The duck is there to attract the other birds right?
Hi, Ákos, the video its not mine, but yes, the duck is a plastic decoy, not to attract, but to other birds maintain confidence...Quote:
