Awwwwwww, sweet young face, not your usual light temperature :) but very nice nonetheless. EXP spot on, you can see the range of tones in the wings. Drops a bonus.

I like the feeding posture, together with the upturned wings. Well exposed, sharp, and agree the droplets add to the image.

Love those pinkish legs! Agree with Fabs about the color temperature, this is great, and the whites on feathers are well exposed as well. Really nice combination of colors.
