In both senses of the word, with a touch of humour as well.. Great timing.

I tried to get this last week in California with no luck so very jealous, The blurred wings work well and the scene tells a story

Dave

Good action shot. The blurring of the wings works well, as Dave says. I do wonder if it would help to clone out that mark just above the fence on the right of the frame.

David

A lovely behavioural image Phil - well caught

Phil that;s very nice the blur on the adults wing really sets it off.

Keith.

Beautiful shot Phill, a hard shot to get well done

Personally I'd prefer to see a little less movement in the wings. But this is nit picking considering how difficult it is to capture such an interesting behaviour of such fast moving birds. I also think that the hungry chick on the left add so much more interest to the scene. Well captured Phil.

Beautifully captured Phil great interaction between all the subjects.

Good stuff
JR

Brilliant capture love the wing blur,really sharp where it counts,amazing Phil

difficult to capture that - spot on here and the third bird makes this even better

cheers

Colin

I just love the expression on the leftmost bird. fantastic shot Phil

Calum

Nice shot, something Ive been trying for a while too....you do have a couple of dust spots that need to go, above the bird on the left (brown background and just to the right in the blue background).

Overall - superb... how about a backlit version now?
