I am hungry

Taking action image is cakewalk nowadays with digital cameras. I have cropped this myna's feeding action to emphasize the chic's face. (Also I did not have full tail of the bird in the image :-) ).

Thanks for viewing
Highly appreciate your comments and suggestions

You're right that digital has made this kind of shot a whole lot easier (and much cheaper in saved film alone). This is nice action, Venu, though given the presentation with the emphasis on the chick, I think it would work better if the chick were in crisper focus with either more dof or with the adult suffering the slight softness.

This is a nice effort. Action is great, the moment is great. The problem is the chick isn't sharp. Ideally both birds would be sharp, but at a minimum the chick needed to be to make this one really special.

Hello Venugopai, I have to agree with the others regarding the sharpness. I do like the action though and the whole interaction. Give it another try ! Cheers, Hans

Awesome shot, with the berries in the adult's mouth. Adult face is very cool. And, the baby would be a cinch to sharpen on the computer.
