Feeding Time

[Nick Palmieri]

Shot this at Nickerson Beach on Long Island this week. Tripod mounted Canon EOS 1DMK4, 600mm, ISO 640, f/6.3, SS 1250. I cropped a slight bit off the right and slightly more on the left. Also added a slight vignette blur.

Fine image Nick. This happens so fast you need to be ready , which seems like you were. Might just fix the highlight in the adults eye.

Another sweet moment. I like the blur effect, though I would not use it on the back of the adult. Very good work.

Very nice, i especially like the mood the image presents. It has a feel of tenderness to me

Lovely image & interaction Nick, it's amazing what these little chick can swallow.

[PhilCook]

The birds are nicely positioned and encircled with oof areas narrowing attention to just the main subjects...very good I feel. Lovely interaction, sharp where it has to be and lovely soft feel to this one

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Fantastic interaction captured! That little one is too cute.
Superb image; just not sure about the vignette blur - it has rendered the adults neck/back soft.

[Nick Palmieri]

Thanks guys. yes I am not sure about that vignette blur myself. Easy fix as it is on its own layer, something just didn't look right about the one without the vignette.

[Dave Mills]

Nick,sweet image with a great story. Wondering why it didn't look right without the blur vignette?

[Marina Scarr]

Sweet behavior image, Nick. I don't feel as though the vignette blur works, and the image appears cropped too tightly IMHO. I would give and little bit of space on left, right and top. No more space needed on the bottom.
