These two Crimson Rosella chicks have come to the entrance of their tree-hollow at the beckoning calls of their parents. Two of thier siblings have already fledged and these two fledged about 30 minutes after this image was taken.

Hi John, With the dark shadows behind the heads, this looks more like flash as main light than flash as fill. EXp good, dof perfect. The big distraction for me is that both bird's beaks are nearly touching the edge of the nest cavity.
Later and love, artie
