[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I offer a photo I have titled "You Wear Me Out".
On the left hand side is a female yellow head blackbird and on the right is her very demanding offspring.I first spotted this pair of birds on the path I was walking on and the female was feeding the juvenile damselflies. The juvenile was not at all satisfied and demanded more.The female next flew up into the willow bush with the juvenile following right after her and I then got this capture.The look on the female says to me,kid you wear me out,I just fed you and yet you want more?I think that the young bird probably could fend for itself but it is easier if mama gets my food for me.Cropped and resized with a slight amount of sharpening using Paint.Net.

Hello Bob,
Technically I like the fact that their 'wear me out' communication is captured within an appropriate depth of field range.
And of course there's the precise moment.
Well done

Hi Bob

Hi Bob,
Love the interaction captured, fun title that fits well.
I've watched the Brown-headed Cowbirds here exhibit some of the same behavior.
I like the light that "spotlights" their faces, excellent details & POV of the action..
Great interest here,
Very well done.

Hello Bob,

This is a fine photo taken from a good POV with a fine warm light. The image is taken in a good moment so the birds are in a fine pose. Light has been well used so colors are well sturated andd intense. The very good image sharpness show great details of the birds.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Bob,
beautiful image with warm situation and warm light! I like composition, nice details and colours.

Best regards, Leonid

Hallo Bob
Stunning image. Fantastic colours. Excellent details. Spot-on focus. Perfectly framed.
What more can I say?...................Just that this one goes straight to my favourites. Really a pleasure to look at. One of the best natural scenes I have seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.
Anna

hello Bob

for me this is one of the most excellent bird photographys on TN,
for the excellent timing you clicked on the camera,
the superb focus on the foreground and the wonderful
all blurred background, the superb luminosity of the image,
the great sharpness and details, and on both bird's eyes
there is a catch-light that render the photo more and more beautiful,

TFS

Hello Bob
Awesome picture of this two birds, very great composition
sharpness, colors, pose, POV and DOF are perfect
Jacqueline

Fantastic moment to capture.

Technically I find the blurr in the foreground not desirable, nor is it necessary < try an 8x10 ratio >

The colours - though pleasing - are a wee dark...

I took the liberty to show an alternative in a WS.

Just the same I am really keen on YOUR shot! Well done!
