Very well made, wonderful angle.
Was a strong NR applied ? the image looks a bit too smooth with no finer details.

I agree with Gal regarding fine feather detail. The closed eyes of the chick are cute. Nice tiny snack for the chick. I like this very much.

Gal,

No noise reduction applied. Focus point was on chick and also considerable crop.

Sid, really like the action/pose, but would like to see the birds much sharper . . .

Wow Sid this is such a beautiful captured moment and your timing was perfect. Love the low angle and the excellent detail and exposure. TFS

[Stu Bowie]

Sid, I like the interaction between parent and chick, and just love the awaiting open bill of the chick. The low perspective works well.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the low angle and behaviour. The chick looks alright, but the parent surely needs another round of sharpening.

[Don Lacy]

Hi Sid, Nice interaction I did A little bit of work on the parnet even at the tones a bit and did some selective sharpening i hope you do not mind.

[Nancy A Elwood]

Sid the repost is perfect!! Well done on the timing and what makes this one for me is the chicks eyes being closed. Congrats!!

[Fabs Forns]

Great capture, Sid, agree that the adult looks a bit soft on the OP, Don's repost makes it better. I used f/11 when I did mine, to the cost of a busier BG, though :o

very pretty image, loved the expression on the chick and loved the setting..
