An image which only his mum would love....

A cracking photograph Ronnie, the detail in the feathers and facial area is simply stunning.

Poor fella, he can't help his looks, Ronnie, he has his mum and dad to thank for them Smile. He does have wonderful plumage, though, very well captured and presented.

Great detail in in the plumage and catchlight in the eye too. Beautiful colours too which accentuate how ugly the poor chap looks.
Very well captured and presented RonnieGrin
