All for me

[Don Lacy]

I have images that have a better HA on the father from this series but this image with the chick grabbing the fish captures the decisive moment and is my favorite.

40D, 500 f/4, 1/1600 at f/5.6, Aperture Priority, Evaluative metered +1 1/3, Raw, ISO 400, tripod, medium crop.

The eye contact between parent and chick makes this image work for me. Well done Don!

Wonderful feeding image. You captured the tenderness well. I like the chicks open mouth and the BG adds nicely to the image. I can see why it's one of your favorites-I love it:)

Killer timing Don. Great story.

[Adams Serra]

Hi Don,
Outstanding image. The low angle and timing just perfect.

[Lorant Voros]

You can try to put a finger on this why it isn't perfect, still it is amazing. Ditto Denise, you captured the tenderness perfectly.

Lovely image, Don. IMO the interaction makes the adult HA irrelevant in this image.

[Robert Amoruso]

Don,

Well seen and captured. HA not a worry here with such a great interaction.

I was looking at a pano crop and like it. Not that I like it better then what you presented, without the blue and cropped pano you have a much different look. Either way, an impressive image.

Beatiful moment captured loved the angle too....

[Joe Senzatimore]

Captured at just the right moment. BG is beautiful as is the overall image. Great story told in just one frame.

This one's uber-WOW Don. Awesome moment perfectly captured. Fabulous setting and exposure.

Hey Don,
Absolutely crushed this one!!!! You know my fondness of the crop tool....but with or without the water.....fantastic!

[Don Lacy]

Thanks to every one for your kind comments makes the mile and a half walk and borderline heatstroke worth the effort:)

[Derek Griggs]

Wow, what a great moment! Nice soft colors and sharp!!

[Juan Aragonés]

Extremelly elegant and tender image Don. Superb light and shoting angle, exposure and... what a BG!!!

[Glenda Simmons]

Outstanding! A story telling image, for sure! That's what it is all about...your image telling a story, and you did this splendidly!

A very catchy title, to boot :)

[Danny Laredo]

Indeed a story telling image and well captured.

[Mike Lentz]
