A wonderful behavioral image, Karl. I really like the way you chose to compose this by going with just the head of the adult to keep the youngsters large enough to have some presence in the frame.

Killer shot, Karl ! Quite a intimate portrait of this little family. Nice angle of view and great behaviour captured. Well done ! Cheers, Hans

Terrific capture Karl…Love seeing the eye of all three birds and the interaction is great. Is that an insect larvae being fed to the chicks? Really interesting. A super frame well composed.

Wonderful color, detail, and behavioral context. Even though I’m quite happy with the crop, I could see a little more room on the left side. Not a big deal but just a little curious to see what it would look like.

Wow. This is awesome. I can’t believe you have all three on the same focal plane. What was your aperture? No nits from me.
