Lovely shot I particularly like the detail in the adult's bill.

Terrific interaction, nice head turns on both birds. Good sharpness on both as well. I've never seen a Coot chick so tiny with those amazing colors. Does this need a touch of CW rotation?

Thanks Bill, you are so right on the rotation, it slipped my mind.

Very nice Tim. The facial expressions on both are priceless. Lovely detail on the blacks and, the white and red bills.

Great to get the poses like this, Tim. Well handled tone and colour, especially controlling that white bill and forehead while keeping nice detail in the darker parts. I love the patterns in the water here too. The tight composition adds to the intimacy of the shot and works well for me.
