Awesome, Verdon. Perfect timing, excellent techs and an "Aw" factor that's off the charts.

Verdon - this is exceptional - perfect angle to get both heads and the worm being transferred. Tack-sharp detail and nice BG, and the "cute" factor in this baby and his eyes is a 10++.

Wonderful capture, Verdon. I think our attention focuses first on the chick because of that bright yellow eye. Then it goes to the worm and parent. If the parent's eye had been wide open we would have had two points of attention which may not have been as effective. Nice comp!
