    Talk about an amazing opportunity! The fact that you have the environment, the nest, both adults and the feeding all going on in the same image is just over the top and very rare to witness never mind photograph. You did a good job working with the light. Love the green vegetation and the lichen.

    Michael,
    Terrific view you have!
    I would be there 24/7 to get better light but works fine as is.
    Great view of the chick, I have rarely as good a view of one this young.
    I would crop from the bottom for a more traditional crop and post at 1200 wide!
    Way too small a post for such a great scene.

    What an amazing opportunity and capture. So much works in this photo, from the background to interactions.

    What a beautiful scene you have captured. So much to see and enjoy. I think I'm seeing a hint of magenta in the whites of the parents' heads, but that's not my forte.

    Michael, I'm simply envious. Did you have to climb a big ladder to afford such a view? Side lighting of a nest is tough, but you handled it well here. I like the F10 choice to keep all 3 subjects in focus. Beautiful birds and love the interaction. The Habitat is lovely. If there is anything to tweak, I'd suggest open up the shadow of the bird on the left a little bit if possible. Well done. Loi
