Found this single mom and her baby in La Jolla cave, almost in full darkness, so used an external flash. In p/p cropped, adjusted contrast, brightness, curves, sharpened, slight neat image, saved for web

I have an image of the same name in my portfolio which is also of a parent bird feeding their chick. This is a nice example of behaviour but doesn't work for me on a visual level. The dark beaks don't show up well against the dark breast of the adult. The foreground colour competes for attention with the subject. The composition isn't particularly attention grabbing. But I do like the subject matter.
