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 . 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 Ronnie Grin

This is a wonderful portrait of an unusual bird, Ronnie. The hole above the beak is so unusual. Everything nice and sharp, including the plumage.

Superb image Ronnie - I personally find thee birds quite beautiful - in their own way! The colours that shine through when the sun is on their feathers can be quite amazing. The detail on this image is outstanding. Lou

Fantastic feather detail and clarity in this portrait Ronnie. As for your title, I guess the old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder" rings true here! Grin
