This image of a Least Tern chick has been sitting in my files since June when looking at the file other day I was struck by how the small the chick felt in the frame and how dangerous the world is for them at that age.

Awesome comp Don. Subject just stands out in wide frame.

I really like this. Definitely get a sense that it is just a little player in the big game. Also a sense of isolation.

Don:
Glad you went back to it! It conveys the isolation/vastness of the world for this little fellow well.
Both the beach and the sky strengthen that effect.
I could even see a version where you blurred the sharp sliver of beach that is in focus, just leave him on surrounded by the vast environment, alone on a visual island. Yikes, that is sounding pretty touchy/feely there:p
Cheers

Hi Don , wonderful bit of imagery. Well conceived and well exposed to get the chick so clear against the white background. Certainly looks vulnerable in there. I also like the blue in the background.
