# 1 - One of the babies. It's gone from being a pot scourer to having a nice fluffy coat. I i9ncluded the reeds just for some colour and effect.

#2 - "Hey mum, wait for me".

Nice shots. Really like that second one with the parent and chick.

[Isac]

Thanks David. The bubs are so tiny and fluffy, it's difficult to get good detail.

Good colour and light Isac. It would have been nice to have some light on the face and eye in #1

In his defense on these it can be done but they are so hard to get that to happen for some reason.
I am not sure if it is to do with the hair like feathers on the head that makes it so much harder to get what you have said.
But I have tried so many times and end up with shot just like this even with the sun on the chicks face.

Thanks Alan. Ralph's answered for me, so all good.

nice cute captures.
first one could do with some light in the eyes. possibly made to look worse by the downward angle on the shot.
2nd shot makes up for all that though. good action with mother and bub. good work

Cheers mate. hard to get the light right. Looking into the sun makes it difficult and I note your CC
