Perfect timing to capture the Dad putting the food right into the young one's mouth! Nice detail and bg.

Wonderful behavioral moment. Love the environment you've included in the frame.

Nice behavior shot -- good job getting a look at the adults eye -- for me the oof yellow blossoms are a distraction -- I would try a vertical crop that would drop some of the yellow blossoms just to see waht that might look like

Really cute - and very well captured. The expressions on both faces are really beautiful - I guess that's what I call behavior.... The soft colors are great too.
Re. vision, I of course don't know whether this applies to you, but let me tell you my case. I am short sighted and up until 10 years ago or so I had no problem with computers, I just removed my glasses and it worked fine. Then it started getting worse and worse, could not see a thing either with or withour glasses. I decided to try contacts and that was the key. I don't wear distance glasses anymore, I have 20/20 distance vision, and I use reading glasses to work on the computer. I keep asking myself why didn't I do this 20 years earlier...anyway, I figured I'd pass on my experience, if it can be of any help. And given that I also become eligible for Medicare in 3 years, I figure that we must be the same age cheers to that!

Good catch of the moment, Howard. I can't think of a thing to improve it.

You needed this last week, Howard, it would have made a great entry for the weekly challenge. I like the complete "spring" look to the image.

Howard,
Great behavioural catch. Sharp, great background, like the tree in focus.
