    Hi Paolo, The birds are pretty much lost in the jumble of branches. And there are several branches in front of the adult. You need to work at getting closer to your subjects and getting a clean view of them. Keep at it and you will improve quickly.

    Hi Paolo,
    The birds blend into the busy habitat, and are difficult to distinguish...you were working in harsh sun light, thus the washed out look. I agree with Mr. Morris' assessment...for the next one Paolo, try getting a closer capture...looking forward to your next one...:cool:

    Hi Paolo. Nice interaction between the chicks with the parent looking on, unfortunately the image suffers from the reasons given above. Keep at though and hopefully you'll get some good images!

    it is impossible to get closer because the photo was taken from a blind in a refuge and we are not allowed to get closer.

    Hi - agree with the advice given above - if you cant get closer - a longer lens is the only other option.
    Still will be difficult if you cannot move positions very much.
