    Photographed yesterday morning on the North Shore of Massachusetts.
    I finally found a fairly cooperative Piping Plover family with 3 chicks and have spent the last two mornings with them.

    Looking forward to your comments and critiques!

    Absolute sweetness. Very young, I hope you get to photograph his journey. Sharpening is so tricky with chicks, but this is perfect. I love the undulating shore line and the only thing I might possibly consider is a very small trim from the bottom just to lower the little bird in the frame a bit. Wonderful image, Mike.

    This is beautiful, Mike. Ticks all the boxes and huge cuteness factor. Loved the wet sand dunes.

    A brighter catchlight might make it better?....minor point really.

    Mike, this is just a beauty in every way. Perfect image that conveys the fragility and tenderness of this little one. Looks like your time with that family has really paid off.
