This image was created during last weekend in a local park here in Athens, Greece. Baby Coots are begging their parents to feed them. This family has 3 little ones now (out of 7 initially). I hope that these will make it to adulthood.

Very nice composition displaying a warm and tender moment. Love the colors and details of your subject and the soft pleasing background...:D

[Jim Poor]

What a nice intimate moment. I might make them seem even more intimate and close with a crop from the right.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great interaction and intimate mood, the angle is great, too. The whites look a bit overexposed, maybe you could try to tone them down.

[Steve Wheeler]

I like everything about this image... Would agree w/ Axel about the whites.

I think this is one of those images that could use a rule "break" and be composed more centered (crop away about half the empty space at left) The bills' angles pointing at each other would help justify this centered comp. A very tender moment indeed.

Love the pose, details and reflection. I would love to see BOTH sharp!

[Petros Petrou]

Thank you for the comments. I will try at least to tone down the whites a bit and see how this works. I hesitate to crop more since I have already croped about 30% from the original.
