These are great, especially the ones of the chick. I love the low angle and the waves in the background. I think the first two would benefit from a little wider framing.

Such rich images Morris and wonderful feeling to all. So, now explain the framing because nothing you do is unintentional and I have always been chastised for cutting off body part including the butt!

I agree, a nice series but I do not like your crops on 1 and 2.

Thank you OregonSun,
I agree, I did not have time or the whole bird would be there

Thank you Eric,
Dad had gone down to the water to fish and I was watching the chick when it started to walk to the water and I locked up my tripod head and followed. When dad appeared over the crest I sat as fast as i could and set the camera down in front of me. As I looked through the finder I saw the first image and tripped the shutter as I did not want to miss this moment fiddling. Then I had a moment to level and release the head for the nicer images of the chick.

I followed a basic rule, get the photo, then get it correct.

Thank you Ted,
As you can see in my answer to Eric, this was a case of rushing or missing the opportunity. Looking at them now I'm wondering if a tighter crop might look better.

Great set Morris - the lighting is very pleasing in these, and the surf in the background is very nicely blurred.
