    Great angle, light, details and intimate mood. I might add a tad more room at the top and adjust the black point. Thanks for sharing!

    The food exchange was timed perfectly...kudos for that! More room on top would be great.

    Agree with the suggestions from earlier posters. Perfect feeding moment you've captured here! Particularly like how the light is illuminating the parent's eye. Thanks for posting!

    Good timing by both you and Chas! As above, but looks a bit oversharpened to me.

    OK - I added some room at the top, but not sure about the black point adjustment, so didn't do that. I liked it better the first time, but appreciate any suggestions.

    The sharpness looks really good in the repost. I wouldn't have added as much room, only as much as the distance between the back of the head and the edge of the frame. Regarding the black point, it's easier to do this in your RAW converter. If you look at the histogram you will see a spike at the left side, which means the blacks are blocked.

    Diane I like the image and as Axel mentioned the repost only needs half of what you added (perhaps just double the height of your original). That being said I'd be very please to have this behavioural image in my collection.
