Super colours and details, a very nice shot. The positioning of the two heads is perhaps a little awkward i.e. pointing in almost diagonally opposite direction, I suppose ideally the chick would have ben looking up to the adult. I appreciate we get what we are given.
I think I would have been tempted to remove the pale green band on the RHS of the adult.

Ramon:

Great POV,colors, detail.
I get Jon's point about the birds looking in different directions, but I still find it a very effective image.
Where are you shooting these guys at? Don't need specifics, just general area.

Cheers

Location is not top secret, they are in Toronto.
You can even find reference in a google search.
I was going to msg you but your inbox is full.

Hi Ramon ... I would be very happy to have this image in my collection , might have processed it slightly punchier in the subjects .... just personal prefs .

super cute with the chick , low pov is so cool .

very well done from capture to finish and that old glass seem to work still fine

Great work, I love low POV shots across the water, and the closeness of the mum and chick makes for a pleasing composition

One of these years I'll make it down there to photograph these guys! I love the image. I'd personally prefer a 3:2 ratio, but still effective as is.

cute frame Ramon, love the low angle and the details. nice soft light. a touch lower head for the adult would have been even better

RR, I love everything about this and am fine with the head angles -- I see the adult bird as looking protectively to our right to safeguard the chick. If anything, you might wish to do some bill clean-p on the adult.

with love, artie
