Reason: Changed crop to include more of the top limb

the interaction is pretty nice, love the fuzz on the chick. The shooting angle is a bit steep and the busy BG with bright gaps didn't help it either.

Hi Arash, I agree with all your comments. After spotting them all of the reasons not to take the image went through my mind like a checklist, but after watching the interaction for a while I had to try to capture it. Thank you for viewing and commenting, much appreciated.
