I don't think I could ask for more from a photo, this is just superb. Congratulations!!!

Ps: I am so close and so far from the falklands.. I wish I could go there sometime.

This is really beautiful Chas! I love the golden backlit grasses and the tender interaction that you captured between the chick and adult. I think I would consider darkening the blacks a bit (black slider to 20 in levels looks nice to me).
