Well my mum doesn't think I'm ugly! (best viewed larger)

Eurasian Coot Nestling - just days old. Any comments and suggestions

most welcome. Cheers Mike

I dont think he is ugly either. Cute little guy. Thanks so much for the ratings you are giving me on my photos from the Antarctica. Cheers. Helen.

He isn't the 'cutest' but I suffered from the same 'dilema' until I reached about 15....(groan). But this is a 'baby' and all babies are 'beautiful' when you consider their journey! This photo displays not only great attention to color and detail in the bird's facial features and feathers, but the texture in the rock and detail in the water(reflection - "et all") is excellent!
