Quite different than the norm, I like the low illumination on the shadowed side of the birds. I would like to see a little more room at the bottom for the lower bird's body/neck. Neat!

Luke,
Very cool capture. I like this one almost as much as your last post. Could use just a little more room at the top for me but nicely composed. Love the lighting here Luke. I really, really like these two images you posted. The backdrop is nice and warm and makes the feathers really stand out. Love the squiggly little head feathers on the Juvi. Super image.

I like this image better than the first in this series. A neat feel to this for sure. Maybe just a bit more room on top?

I like this one much better. A little more in the bottom of frame would help

I like this comp as posted Luke. Good looks at the chick and Mom and wonderful detail on both birds. The early morning light is gorgeous.
