:):) May be she needs a new hairdo!:) This is a beautiful shot of the bird. You have timed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

o:). You are cute. Love your head color. But your eye is the most adorable. You are looking at me, aren't you? What a fun photograph. Thanks for sharing.

It is a nice capture of this wee one Fred! You handled the very bright sun well enough. Your photo is a tad bright and I would have made some adjustments. I am wishing for a bit more eye clarity.
Your focus is sharp with nice details and a bonus water reflection.
Nicely done ;)

What a great shot. I love the detail and the focus. The reflection is good. Seeing the feet in the water shows how close (either physically or with a zoom) that you were able to get. Good focus and clarity.

This is the exception that proves the rule about all babies being beautiful. A remarkably detailed shot with very nice colors and excellent cropping.

What a rear looking bird chick that is. There is plenty of colour around the head, the reflection in the water also adds to the shot. The bird is nicely framed. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Awwww, he is so ugly he's adorable. Poor little thing. It's amazing that he will turn black with some white on him. Precious picture of a darling little guy.

Only a mother could love this one Fred! haha Some baby birds are so cute and others....not so much! I think this is one of the latter. Good shot and thanks for sharing this "ugly duckling".

Very unique and wonderful piece(and a witty one-liner as the title). Some exceptional attention to detail, such as the shadow and contrast. I love how the focus is not only the bird itself but it's own reflection. Thanks for sharing!
