Theme: But you've had enough already!

[Mark Itol]

We were shooting Black-crowned Night Herons when we saw this pair. The adult was feeding the young, but the latter couldn't seem to be satisfied. In some occasions the adult would seemingly ignore the young as if saying, "But I've given you enough food already!" Taken with some early morning haze.

Do you think the head angles work here?

Thanks for looking. All C&C welcome.

Despite the fact that both birds are looking away I love this one. Good job of focusing on the juvie's eye with just enough d-of. I would love to see this larger with a bit more room below and left. Love the rich colors.

Mark, I am fine with birds looking the other way here....its the moment that is wonderful. Good DOF and am liking the birds on the diagonal.
