This a full frame shot of a black-winged Stilt chick following it's mother. I have an alternate composition which crops away part of the top and is much better detail of the chick but I finally decided that it lost too much by removing the parent. Any thoughts are appreciated.
Taken at La Camargue, France 3 weeks ago

As already mentioned this tells a warm and fuzzy story but I agree it would be nice to have them looking this way. Still wonderful to see this great captured moment with parent and baby. thanks for sharing.
