    Technically, it is one long billed bird and one that still has a stubby little bill. :)

    This is image is utterly delightful and the techs look spot on to me. The chick's apparent vulnerability and charming disposition and the parent's seeming confidence lifts this image nicely IMHO. I am amazed at the chick's colours being so to the sand. Nice work Grace.

    Love it, Grace. Perfect blacks and whites. The little one adds so much. Your image makes me want to head to the coast to find nesting skimmers. Thank you for sharing.

    A beauty, Grace. No nits. Good IQ with 600 + 2X.

    Hi Grace technically well done on all counts .
    Love the detail in both whites and blacks , and there is a high cuteness factor with the chick !!
    A very fine image all around , just watch the halo on the upper bill

    The queen of the 2X strikes again!
    I echo all the other positive remarks. Exposure is perfect!
    What a sweet little chick-adds to the cuteness factor ++
