baby birds by ~CountFranklin: As the Thelonious Monk tune is called, Ugly Beauty... The suggestor write "This is much more than 'just a picture': the excellent technical achievement - especially the selective out of focus - is greatly combined with the expressiveness of these birds." There is, indeed, something alarming and strangely appealing about the appearance of baby birds. (Suggested by *chaosconquersall and Featured by `equivoque)

I like the softness of this photograph, it adds to the fragility of the baby birds. There's also something sad about this photograph, the black and white adding to that. The birds pose, just waiting for food... I don't know, I'll stop trying to over analyze your photography now and leave you with I like it.

i never thought of the softness adding to the fragility of the birds, nice observation. i agree with you about the sadness. even though its a very innocent shot, it somehow has a lot of creepiness. :shrug: i guess thats just how i 'roll' :lol:

That is an awesome shot of the most hideous creatures I've ever seen :lol: It's an awesome shot. Seriously. Focus is good, love the desaturation. Don't think the shot would've had the same 'effect' in color.

I don't really know what else to say, besides 'thank you'. I never would've seen stuff like this otherwise! :aww:

Baby animals are usually cute and cuddley but, those birds are butt ugly and look like they are ready to attack. Their looks contradict what they really are.
