    Arguably a little too much negative space above the birds, so if the IQ would take it I'd be tempted to try a slightly tighter crop - personal taste etc.

    However, that said - it'd be hanging on my wall if I'd taken it - lovely interaction

    Karl I nearly missed this one, superb shot the bee in the chicks beak is real icing on the cake, nice exposure and sharpness, thanks for giving us a look.

    Fantastic image with great interaction between the chick & parent. I really like the striped head of the chick & the fly. Sharp with good exposure.

    Karl:

    Very nice indeed. I just need to teach my loons to feed bugs to the kids!

    I do agree about the negative space above, but the interaction is wonderful.

    Was this taken in Ontario, or further west?

    Cheers

    Randy

    Sweet interaction capture Karl! The chick is just too cute. Agree that a crop off the top would help.
