Hi Gal,
Sweet light and I love the unusual pose. I might prefer to see just a tad more canvas on the left side to balance the composition. I also really like the DOF that you chose for this.
Best,
Nicki

Nice low angle, gorgeous light! I might have gone to ISO400 to get the shutter speed above focal length, but very well done as is.

[Sid Garige]

Like the color progression in background. Beautiful light and very nice eye contact.

Hi Gal, love the low angle and the fading light. You've done really well with this lens too (I own the same lens). You must have been very close. Well done.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Gal, wonderful light, which in turn has produced lovely warm colours. I like the feeding pose, and what a killer BG. Well captured.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, pose, eye contact and BG. Maybe a slight crop off the bottom?

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice light and killer BG. A very nice species indeed.

[Danny Laredo]

Gal, I love the BG and pose.
I find the FG a touch distracting and would consider a slight crop.
