I think there is nothing to critique. It is simply an excellent record of bird behaviour, technically flawless.
Best,

Yes, a nice behavioral shot. The chick does seem happy that it’s being fed.

Terrific behavior an excellent color. Nicely composed with opposing diagonals of the beak.

Great catch of this feeding behavior. The interaction here is superb.
