July 2025 - Momma is coming !
About the Image(s)
Out of the six babies these two were on a separate branch when Momma came in to feed them. Just lucky to get them waiting in anticipation.

A great moment when the young fledglings are waiting to be fed. I can imagine the sound that they are creating to get attention. The birds are nice and sharp. I wonder if it might be possible to tone down some of the branches or maybe crop the image to more of a square. Posted: 07/12/2025 09:24:40

Great timing! I really would not change anything in this picture. Posted: 07/12/2025 21:32:38
Good timing on getting these hungry birdies. Good sharpness on the birds. I would crop in from the left a bit and tone down the white branch on the bottom - even though it's blurred, the bright white draws my eye away from the subject. I hope momma fed them! Posted: 07/15/2025 01:05:55
Great moment for taking this picture, it just make you feel the desperation of these hungry young birds, who are not able to get it's own food yet.
I didn't know that these type of birds can turn their heads back, and I agree the whiter branch is a distraction. Posted: 07/15/2025 06:43:30

Great capture. You nailed focus on the birds eye. Two things to consider - one is to increase contrast, the image is a little flat to me, and the other is to apply a radial gradient so that the bird on the right is a little more prominent - clearly making it the subject. Posted: 07/28/2025 02:46:00
