Avocet Mother & Chick - Click image to view larger!

Thanks for viewing/comments! This one is with the bigger lens

(500mm) compares to my previous image (400mm). Taken when the

mother barely stand up with the wings up a bit ..

It is so sweet! Perfect timing and composition. Nice details.

Beautiful nature capture. Congrats.

Geez Tm, this is sick sharp. Such perfect contrasted bokeh. Amazing. The only thing I see, and it's not that big of a deal, is the white ripple at the very bottom under the baby's reflection. The reflection isn't a must for the shot here, and isn't smooth enough, so I'd crop the ripple out. With such a perfectly contrasted dark BG, it sticks out a little. Fantastic shot man.

Excellent capture!

Thank you Folks!

Kenneth, I like your cropping idea and I think it will make the shot better for sure.

excellent capture  ,composition, details. colors are great

best regards
