Nice image Jude. The soft light and creamy BG makes me want to whisper like you would while walking in a quiet swamp. Would've like to see a slight head turn on the adult to get some eye contact but I like the parallel lines of their beaks with the tree trunk.

Normally I'd shy away from centered compositions, but the nest's diagonal makes it work for me here. Very nice, The interaction makes up for the lack of eye contact from the adult. He/she is looking where it should :)
I love it. I am fine with the adult's head position and the posture of the chick is endearing. I would have pointed the lens down just a bit in an effort to include more of the stuff on the bottom of the nest.
