Little Beggar

A pair of adult Lilac-Breasted Rollers, with a begging juvenile.
Submitted again for "second chance" week, with a different crop as suggested by Max (thanks) and other minor improvements.

I can just imagine dad, on the left, saying to mom on the right " Mabel !! I thought we agreed that we were NOT going to keep feeding junior. He needs to get to work and find his own food! " LOL

Sandy, I think you nailed it with the crop. I just love that "triangle." Great job.

Although I loved the first one, still amazed by this version as well. I love the lines and set-up. Cheers Hans
