Sandi, I like to copy my just given comment on your previous image:

Yesterday I've experienced a pretty strange action.
I was operating as a kind of SAR-team (Search And Rescue) and has saved the life of a baby goose that had ended up in a small basin with a round overflow threshold. It couldn't climb over the threshold. Despite my presence, the parents stayed with some other youngsters anxiously in the neighborhood. I broke a dead branch of a tree and with that I brought the young chick, by giving it a push under its back, back into the open water. After this 'rescue operation' the 'company' disappeared at full speed without saying 'Thanks' to me (☺) . I couldn't take a picture of my rescue action because of my not comfortable position there, but shortly after their departure I could take some shots. I will upload one of them soon.
Thanks for this precious and to me very apt one, my friend.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

A cute shot of the furry little chick and mom. When only one is there it is clear that the others have been grabbed by birds of prey.

It will probably grow up to be spoiled Tigz. The only gosling tend to be like that. Great shot which triggered a great story by SEA.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

A striking image of a mother and child, Sandi. There are times when I enlarge a shot I've taken, in order to process it in Photoshop, only to find that not all the subjects have the same focus depth. Here I see the wing feathers and head of mom are fairly crisp but the gosling is not so. In a situation like this I try to remember to deselect auto-focus and shoot several different frames, with each element focussed manually. Then, later, I can merge the two. Some may claim it's nothing more than manipulation (as though it was a bad thing) but even in college, chasing a degree in fine art, I found that it was all about your result and not how you went about creating it. If you take and merge several images of the same scene, at the same time, with the intent to create an image worth keeping, well... that's not really manipulation. It's creation.

Just a thought.
