Excellent job on this one, John. Both faces look in pretty good focus-I think you picked just the right focal plane. Possibly a bit more dof would have been nice but hand holding an a much lower shutter speed than that gets really tricky.

Quite good for hand-held with a 420mm lens at 1/400th. The background is a bit busy, but the nest is (was) where it is.
