    Good feeding action, light and detail.
    A difficult crop though. Maybe tighter to just take in the adult's legs?
    Also maybe remove the stems from the youngster's head.

    Behavior aspect of this one is solid. Mom looks very serious here. Light was very nice.

    Nicely framed. A bit off the left would not hurt. Then you could remove what's left of the intruding branch lower left. You are just a bit short on the chick's head angle ...

    this image shows the feeding behavior from a natural history point of view well but as art it doesn't work for me. both HA's are somewhat awkward and the image is somewhat cluttered, both birds look a touch soft as if there was heat shimmers or too much humidity...

    If I were shooting at this location I would get frustrated and leave in less than 10 minutes, it looks very tough to pull a keeper frame here with all the nest clutter, steep angle and patchy BG's unless you had a 20 ft ladder to go on top... must be fun watching them though :)

    I agree with a bit more off the left, and bummer on that branch touching the youngster's head. Good behaviour, nice light
