It was a difficult angle, light was harsh, and the birds weren't cooperating in terms of their poses. (So I suppose it's just a memory shot!) I did like watching the chick beg from his parents, though.

A nice image IMO. You made the most of what was presented. Only wish is for a catchlight in the adults eye.

Rebecka ..I like this one for the little story within the frame you have made. Harsh light is the only nit I can see... nice one though

I like the perceived interaction between the birds and the angle of the chick gives a nice depth to the photograph
