I was just set to pull the trigger and the male flew into the picture and made what I thought was a good pic a great one...
Thanks for viewing all c&c welcome Randall

Great action here Randall! The daisies make a good FG. Both head angle are good, but I especially like the baby's expression. Your exposure is good as is your sharpness and details. The flapping wings and the bug are a plus. I find that the daisies in the FG lead my eye up to the birds. I think that a slightly tighter crop might improve the composition here. I would also suggest that you post your images at the maximum size of 800px high. Congratulations on your image, I like it.
Thanks Joel I appreciate your comments, I'll see about posting at 800 pixels high
I guess you composed for the juv bird and out of blue male flew in. I would crop a little bit on the top and left to make it little tighter.
I see what you're saying Sid , but I usually compose for the magazine in mind they like a little room at the top , but for printing I would agree it'ss an improvement. thanks for the help randall
I like the ORIG best magazine or not. Would love to see this one larger and a bit lighter with the middle tones. Love the bug and the raised wings of the adult.
