    The parent Grebes are constantly feeding the young ones, no wonder they grow so fast.
    Just like this 'contortionist' bending over backwards for it's meal.

    Super moment there, one I am sure you will remember for some time. Lovely colours and details, a bit of a pity the adult right is facing away but I like the image very much.

    Interaction between parent and chick is wonderful, but the position of the right hand adult is tough since it takes up a lot of space while facing the wrong direction. Top left part of the frame feels vacuous without either bird looking into that open space.
    The techs, however, look pretty good. Lights and darks are well exposed, and you captured some really nice details, particularly on the chick and prey item, exactly where the viewer's attention is focused.

    Well timed shot and superbly executed in the field and well done in the darkroom . I like it .
    the important stuff is overcoming the not ideal ha of the adult facing the nirvana

    nice job and tfs A

    Hi Ramon. You've captured a memorable moment in time here. I like it very much. Maybe we could think of the adult on the right as being unaware of what's going on TFS
