Nice interaction and good environment. I think I would crop a bit tighter but either way very nice job.

Very well done, Jeroen. I like the interaction. Sharpness is good. In fact I wonder if cropping in from the right and left might reveal more detail in the birds - making the shot a vertical, if the IQ will hold up. Great that you can see both eyes, as the HA of both parent and nestling are good. All in all, great image.
