    I shot this image from a hide near Cape Town. The adult Malachite Kingfisher was feeding the juvenile, probably one of its last free meals. I liked the interaction between the birds.

    I never tire of seeing Malachite Kingfisher images. Nice moment here, Neal, and good to have you onboard at BPN.
    I thought I'd try a few tweaks - let me know what you think?

    Ran a multiplied highlights luminosity mask to tone down some overall bright tones
    Then burned some more midtones on the BG
    Burned the whites on their necks slightly
    Lastly added some local contrast enhancement by running USM @ 20%, 10px on the birds.
