Very nice moment,details and pose,I would prefer to see this image with vertical crop

Hi Ivan,
Agree that a vertical crop would be better - what a sweet moment you have captured and the sharpness is fantastic!
Regards,

Wonderful to see the parent and chick together. Beautiful captured moment and I too vote for a vertical crop. Thanks for sharing this lovely image.

[Ivan Miksik]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I will see on the vertical crop - I have also these photos but they are not processed yet. However, yesterday I will take other photos of the same nest (13-days old nestling).

Wonderful family moment captured, and you did a great job getting good head angles on both the adult and that adorable chick. Good use of flash. Add another vote for a vertical crop, perhaps including more of the bottom of the nest. I'm looking forward to seeing more images of this pair.
