Congrats on the win! Beautiful and appropriate photo for the contest and theme. Everything in it is so pleasing. It indeed expresses "action" from both the babies and Momma. Great photography!

Wow. A Great stop action photo of this Martin getting ready to deliver a much wanted morsel.

Nice sharp focus and good placement in the frame.

Big congratulations in the contest win ~ iPhone7

This is a perfect stop-in-action. I almost hear those nestlings calling for food. I like that you caught the adult with food in its beak. Its angel wing pose is interesting. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of light and color and the refinement of detail. The birds are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A well timed shot that is perfectly exposed. I like the way the Martin is reaching out for the landing. The babies are always hungry it seems and the parents are kept busy catching bugs for them.

Fantastic photograph of these Purple Martin's. Great capture of the daddy bird bringing food to the babies. Focus and lighting are good. Sharp detail. Well composed. Nicely done. Good luck in the photo contest.

A wonderful action capture of these birds! Your shot has great focus showing nice details of the babies and their arriving parent. I like the framing which keeps up centered on the action. Well done work and a great entry to the contest!

What a fabulous, well thought out capture of baby birds getting fed. You are quick on the snap and did a marvelous job! There is a lot of story telling in this wonderful image and every detail is obvious.
Good luck in the contest!

Nice capture. The angle of the shot of mama bird flying towards the nest with babies is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall
