Nice clean look at this youngster, I love the texture in the belly and the neck.

Now there's a face only a mother could love! Nice textures over the entire chick. I don't believe I have ever seen a Anhinga chick before. Very interesting.

Sweet, Sandy. Nice work on those downy textures. But that's a face only a mom could love...

Very nice pose and perch. The whites are just right. Well composed and captured.
