Hi Grace,
Wonderful behavioral capture. Very nice exposure and great BG. I like the low POV - though seeing both chicks' feet may have been another plus for this fine image. Well done.

Hi Grace, I thought we had a new type of creature with the multitude of legs. Great behavioural capture, well exposed, and I like how you got down low for this perspective.
When you see a field of sheep, how can you work out how many sheep are in the field. Count the legs and divide by four. Thats what I did with your image. Sorry, couldnt resist.
I love it! I like how the young ones seem to be pushing hard against mother...plover rugby! The worn plumage shows all the hard work she going through raising the brood. If anything I would likely enhance the top part of the reflection in the eye to make it a bit livelier.
Cute as can be, and I followed Stuarts plan, and counted the legs too! Agree with Daniel about a bit more spark in mom's eye, although putting up with that crew could tire out anyone!
Very sweet family image. I'd like to be able to photograph this once as well. I agree with Dan's suggestion to improve this already fantastic image. Well done.
