Repost: Black-winged Stilt with chick

This should be visible now as I'm uploading from photobucket for the time being.

Lucky here, managed to fire off just one frame before the chick disappeared out of sight.

Can't beat a sewerage farm for creating a good backdrop!

Nice,cute little Fuzz Ball isn`t he.

Nice shot and well done getting the chick - and you have blurred the sewerage plant nicely.

I`ve got to say it,the background is sweet,except for that black spot near the left border,sorry mate but it drags my eyes to it every time I look at this image.

Well spotted Kevin, thanks for that, great to have someone pick up on the details. I've viewed this image many times and never noticed!

Obvious? NOT. Whoever is responsible for this dog's breakfast of a design and bugs should not still be in a job. There, I feel better already

Thank you Alan.

And thanks for the tip on multi quote, at least I don't feel silly for not being able to work that out for myself.

What a great shot Mick. Beautiful without the chick. (No don't clone it out! ) The chick is a absolute bonus.

Great find Mick. Love it.
Quite like the pink background, suits the nursery feel (I assume it a girl).
Reckon I'd trim most of that darkness off the top or PS it.

Cheers Jo. The background doesn't look pink at all on my monitor, it's the same colour as the foreground rocks really. Interesting.

I can see your point about the top of the image but have left as is in the hope it would frame the image and provide balance to the foreground.
