Superb action shot. One of the few dynamic shots in this challenge. Great work and good luck.

8 - Oh, very good capture/opportunity. The 'baby' is nice and sharp. Difficult to get 'it all' perfect in this. Criticism; mainly the composition and framing, but obviously depends what you had to work with. The colors are good, the texture in the nest that is discernible is good. To be able to get true 'stop motion' on that father(?) (and the detail on the bug(?) in it's mouth is good), is, I guess, lens/camera dependent. Just a little more context/space for this shot (again, if you had it) may have made this even better in my opinion. 640 height too, likely. Save for a different angle/perspective (retrospective obviously), not much to be done about the green behind 'father', which while makes this a more colorful shot overall, perhaps detracts slightly from the 'father' and the impact of this capture. Up to 8 from 7, mainly for 'difficulty'.
