    From two mornings ago. One of two chicks sweeping the mudflats for food together, away from the nest and their parents -- possibly 3-4 weeks old. The image was cropped and sharpened in LR.

    Fabulous image with lovely composition. Very nice lights. I like the cute little chick with great details and raised foot .Water droplet is adding to beauty of composition.

    The raised foot and droplet adds life to the image, a big plus I think in any composition. The fine downy plumage has come through very nicely, very sweet shot Wendell

    Nice colors, light and composition. Just a bit too tight. I'd crop a little loose if there are no distracting objects at the crop area.

    Looks to me like the light was on the edge of being too harsh with that white spot not showing detail, looks hot. The chick, his pose, the water droplet, all wonderful and sweet. I'd clean up your frame as there are some dust spots. I think in processing that white could be tamed.

    Very nice image indeed, I like the exposure, I do get the impression however that the head and bill are a little less sharp than the body, perhaps a little more selective sharpening here would improve the image.
