Hi Stuart, wonderful family image. I see you have highlighted the little ones, but IMO
the whole feel of the image is a bit dark.
It may just be me, but what does a slight levels adjustment do for you?
Still some darkening around edges would make a difference too.
There is some wonderful sharpness in the adult



and here is some edge darkening and brightening of the little ones

Excellent repost by Dave. The image looks dark to me, even in the thumbnail. You managed great head angles on the three chicks. A bit tight at bottom, even on top. But I know you were trying to avoid the nest to the right.

The chicks are so cute. I like the version with dark edges, excellent detail on the chicks and mom.
