CommentA red capped plover chick seeks safety alongside its mother along a wide open stretch of beach. I enjoy the clear bond between the two birds as well as the golden light from the setting sun and bokeh from my low angle in the sand. I achieved focus on both birds by compositing two exposures, one focused on each subject.
