Or at least, he should be :) He was seven days ol when this picture was taken, and he was foraging by himself, because Snowy Plovers do not get fed by Mommy. They are taught how to do it. I guess they were the creators of Tough Love.
Hi Fabs,
This one cracked me up....just put a smile on my face! Just look at that akwardness! Sweet pose and the shell only further adds to the overall appeal.
Wow Fabs, looks beautiful, the foraging pose really makes this, the angle is great and the shell adds well, I would suggest one round of NR on the BG and a personally choice would be to move the chick a bit more to the top left corner.. but I loved this, congrats..
It looks like an alien! Lovely comp, and simple but very effective setting. I love the pebbles! I wonder if it could use a bump in contrast and colour or was this purposely done? Anyway great shot!
Very adorable indeed Fabs. Perfect pose, love the lifted leg. :) Precocial chicks all are self dependent and are programmed to forage for food from the moment they hatch. Cool if you ask me. Only baby sitting required. :D
Stunning...such an incredibly cute little fluffbal flying along the beach. Excellent work to catch these fast little runners. The "surroundings" are really great too. A very enjoyable image, Fabs!
The pose with the dragging leg puts this over the top for me. Excellent exposure, sharp, and love the soft light and colours in this. Great image Fabs.
In my last post I awarded 11/10 for cuteness I cannot think of a number that would be adequate here. Everything about this is magical the pose the background and the shell.
this is just too good fabs.. everything looks in perfect shape and mood here. just one question do you notice the noise in bg ? just formatted my laptop few hours back and seeing this so cant be sure but on my lcd laptop i can see some noise in bg.
