*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An appealing nature study that meets the open challenge.

Having commented and voted highly I get another opportunity to comment in more detail about your entry! I still like the subject and the way you have captured them but with closer inspection there are also aspects of the processing that I am not so keen on.

I assume you have used flash here which has blown highlights on the edge of the birds beaks and detail on the adult bird. Although you have used a low ISO there appears to be significant noise which is most unexpected it is probably a result of processing which has left quite an unnatural look.

I repeat I do like the subject, given your technical details your camera must have been very closely positioned to them assumedly triggered remotely? I'm sorry you didn't do better with this image but I have to say I think the processing let it down in the end. Thanks for your entry and good luck with your future entries, Sid

Nice capture, but on my 27'' screen this picture unfortunately looks blown up and is not as sharp as many of the other entries. Sorry!

A lovely nature study from presumably warmer climes than I am in here! I like the composition and timing and dark background. One of my highest scorers, I hope you do well with it.

All seems a bit over processed with an unattractive outcome.
