    An enjoyable image to look upon. A nice bg and wonderful interaction between parent and children. Very well done, imo.

    Beautiful behavior shot! I was just working on a perched Green Violet-Ear this morning. Love everything about it with one exception. The OOF nest is a little too dominant in the frame. Here is a repost in which I cropped a portion of the nest, cloned out some of the brighter bits, and darkened the nest. What do you think, better or worse?

    better, i do like the repost a little better. the activity in the nest is enough to draw your eye away from the nest. great capture, ondrej!!

    This is precious!!! How sweet and well done.
    The OOF nest was a bit distracting, but I rather liked the space, maybe just burning would do the trick.

    Congratulations on a fine image!

    Fully agree with the re post It did take away from the main action !!!! I like how you got them in a good plane for optimum dof !!! Excellent image !!!

    btw I've been looking at the image for a while and the transition from very sharp birds to oof nest is a bit overpowering?

    Great behavior image, details and BG. Both crops work for me but I would remove one of the catchlights.

    What a great image. The feeding behavior is great and color and sharpness of the birds is incredible. I could live witht he original image, but perhaps toning it down a little, to reduce the effect of the flash, would improve it.

    a beautiful image

    the nest appears artificially blurred or a lot of nr applied

    Awesome photo Ondrej, the poses are fabulous. I do agree with the idea behind the repost to take attention away from the slightly distracting nest, but find it looking unnatural. Maybe worth giving it a try yourself though.
