    Default Theme: Piping Plover Chick

    I took this image last year and was not satisfied with the IQ but now when I re processed this one with more carefully I have very good results.

    I intentionally kept the chick small in frame. Let me know if it works for you.

    Hi Sachan,
    I like your composition. There is a ground glass appearance in the BG and I am not sure if this is due to noise or heat haze. I would reduce the brightness of the white on the rock to the left. Bird is exposed beautifully and the low POV is excellent. I love these little chicks,

    Very nice looking chick and a good angle.
    Nice detail on the bird, tough to do, good job.

    Hi Sachin, excellent low angle, well exposed, and just love the fluffy plumage on the little guy. I agree with Gail to tone down the pebble on the left. Other than that, great image.
