    Hi Ken,
    I really like this shot and the behavior captured. EXP is spot on and all birds are tack sharp. The insect in the mouth really adds to this shot.
    I am not sure about the comp on this one. I might take a bit off the right and maybe add on the bottom? I am not sure but would love to see this as a more traditional 4 X 6 crop,
    Gail

    Ken, I love this! I'm really digging the alternate in front and behind the perch poses...and all the linedup head angles! I like your choice of crop. Very nice.

    Great shot ,Ken !
    Nice to see adults and juvenile in one image.
    I love the same HA of all three birds as well as the comp.
    The catch a bonus.
    One of my favourite birds.
