Another shot from my garden Hide. I placed some crumbled fat balls in this old log in the garden, before long I has finches tits and sparrows and then this adult began feeding the chick who started to beg. After the adult supplied food it began feeding itself and then begged once again, and yes the adult started to feed it again.

What a great photo.
Technically, you will get complaints about the OOF tail, maybe the log in front, whatever.
The connection between the birds is priceless, very well done.

Excellent interaction here, chick displays very well except for the cut off tail. Well exposed.
The adults pose, although showing the feeding interaction well, isn't ideal to display him well.
The lighter area in the background behind the chick really helps highlight him.
As Dan said, some technical issues, but still an effective picture.
Cheers

OOF tail is OK with me...all elements that should be sharp are. I love the interaction (the bills' connecting is very neat!), but not so keen on the adult's relative position. I,m also not a fan of the "knob" on the perch at right. Nice BG, and goode details. Well done.

Jonathan, well timed to capture the feeding moment, and sharp where it counts. As the focus is on the feeding behaviour, Im also ok on not seeing the tail. Taking a little bit off both the top and bottom may work too.
