Last day in the nest

Daddy feeding junior. Tomorrow he will leave the nest along with the other fledgling and I will leave as well.

Rick,

Nice image. How do you know the chick will leave the nest tomorrow? Or is this an older image and "tomorrow" already came and went?

[Raymond Barlow]

really fine image Rick., although the colours look great, imo, it might be just a little on the dark side., if you captured this in Raw, you could add a little exposure, or a touch of brightness in ACR. I also suggest a little off the top.., small suggestions to a really excellent shot.

This shot was taking on Wed and I was back on thursday and seen them leave. I captured the first one just before it left, Missed the maiden flight. Went back a few hours and the second one had left. I have been watching them for the last two months.

Nice natural moment captured Rick.. feel it needs a little brightening and that halo effect near the right wing has to be cloned out.. still a beautiful image.. congrats..
