The composition is genial, Mary. The contrast in size and the backlighting on the baby feather particularly.

i absolutely love this image, especially its composition. i think it's spectacular that you just included the lower body and legs of mommy bird, and then the full nest and chicks. i noticed (and commented on) this in some of your other photos, and once again, in this one, i feel like i'm inside the photo when i look at it. since you cut off mommy's upper body, the viewer really gets a feel of how large she appears to the babies, especially since they're looking up at her. this photo shows so much affection from babies to mom. you did an excellent job of capturing this scene, and i think that the composition of this photo is beautiful.
