Taken this weekend at our cottage in Ingonish. The fledgling was catching a few bugs on his own but never seemed to know what to do with the prey. Dad would periodically fly back to check on him.

Comments and critiques always learned from and appreciated with thanks,

Nice capture Gail. Love seeing the adult versus the juvenile. Great job with the exposure and colors and I like the crisp details.
I do agree with toning down the branches.
Well done.
Hi Gail, I like the caring look from the parent, and both nicely framed in the forked perch. Yellows are really striking, they look great, and overall good DOF in the whole image. Your cropped repost works well.
How cute is that!! Comp works well (repost), and the face-to-face poses look great. If anything I'd tone down the brighter leaf directly above the young one's head.
