learning to share from the very beginning

From a few weeks ago at Nickerson Beach. The chick in the back is literally just hatched, his feathers are still wet and right away he was grabbing at the fish.
Image is a fairly large crop.

Wow, very nicely done.

Gen:

Exposure well handled in fairly harsh light. Chicks are cute, like that they both have a grip on the fish. Nice interaction picture.

I might be tempted to clone out the dark area above the adults back. I think your image quality held up pretty well despite the crop.

Cheers

These chicks look really tiny. Sharpness and exposure look good. There is a slight green cast on my monitor and if it were mine, I would remove the dark spot above the back/tail.

Hi Gen, Love the action and the image design. What is the black shadow above the bird from? All nice and sharp but there is somewhat of a green cast.... Are both chicks holding the same fish?

Thanks
The shadow is from a sign I think and yes both birds were eating the same fish

You gotta love those signs....
