Description
Photographed in the early hours as the sun hit the horizon on a electric motor pontoon - fortunately was able to get down to their world
Wow Karl I think this is fabulous! Great low perspective and awesome to see the eyes of all three. Wonderful moment captured. Wonder what kind of morsel the adult is offering - looks like it might be some kind of underwater insect invertebrate. Not sure on that. Glad you pulled this out of your archives to process now and share with us. Well done!
Background? What background? I was too busy taking in the detail on the adults head and the story of the chicks being offered food. I certainly don’t think the background distracts at all.
You have captured a beautiful moment here…well done!
Karl, what a great capture of mama and the babies at feeding time. The low eye level position really helps make the shot, as well as the behavior, wonderful details, composition, etc.
Excellent, Karl. The background is perfect for my taste-just enough texture to show that it’s probably vegetation and it adds a bit of extra color. The low angle and the interaction are superb.
OH man I am so jealous. What an amazing moment. Incredible how small the chicks are when they start out. And yeah, who notices the background in this? It’s soft and uniform so it doesn’t call attention to itself. The sharpness throughout is really stunning - both chicks and the parent with all those drops. You even got the iridescence on the collar! Just super. Is that a dragonfly nymph on offer?
