[Zoltan Kovacs]

Fantastic moment!! Very lovely image. Congrat!

[David Fletcher]

Fabulous capture Jim. Man that's one hungry chick!

[Mike Tracy]

Perfect timing. Exposure of the birds looks spot on. One to be very happy with.

I might tone down the wood ever so slightly, work on the adults eye and add 2 points in selective color to the neutrals to add a little more contrast to the wings.

[Fernando Cerra]

Great timing you capture the exact moment, like this image very much !

[Jim Fenton]

Actually, I already did tone the wood down,. In reality, the old tree was much brighter than it appears here but it was overpowering as shot...so I tones it down.

I had tried before posting your recommendations on the ing, but as the under wings are a fairly soft brown on these birds, it looked a bit funky with more contrast. When I get time later on today, I will give it another try.

Looks like the baby is about to swallow the parent whole. Lovely action captured and I don't feel the tree is overly bright. Nice to see these guys using natural nest sites as I've only ever seen them in boxes. Congrats

Jeepers!! Look at that baby!
Very nice action! Tree looks fine to me.

Lovely behaviour shot! Techs look spot on to me. Would consider a slightly tighter crop.
