There's that Chick

I must confess that this is actually a "composite", when the chick eventually appeared Mum was turned the wrong way! Although it looks rather large both shots were taken from the same place and distance,

Really nice work on this composite Ken...I can't tell...at least not without a microscope. By the way......this bird keeps reminding me of a gigantic Oystercatcher....just my strange mind a work.

An image very much worth the effort you put into it Ken. I very much appreciate you being honest about the processing of this one, I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Sweet Photo!

Hi Ken,

The processing turned out very well. It looks like the baby has to get some growth into that beak............................Jim
