Well, as stated, I think this is a bit of a stretch on the challenge, but the way I see it. If you think of baby birds, when you think HOME, then who am I to say differently. Besides, I'm not voting. lol
This is a wonderful shot. i really like the detail in the little fluffy feathers.
I think I'd like to see the beak in focus as well. Right now, what we see is part of the eye, the corner of his mouth, and a small portion of feathers on his 'neck'. I'd like to see a bit more. including the beak, and the entire eye. Imagine this wasn't an easy shot to take without ticking off the mama.
The angle and framing/cropping is great. I like how he's 'in your face'. I like the bit of room you gave him at the top and right of the photo. Not too close, but not showing lots of crap you don't need either.
The lighting looks good for this shot. Not too dark, not too bright. The background works well for this as well. You have blurred it nicely, and I find no distracting elements in the background.
Overall a very nice shot.
