I have no idea what kind of ugly duck this is, but I liked the colours. All comments and criticism welcome.

That is one ugly mother......but very well captured! No idea what it is though, but someone else is sure to, :thumbs:

Ewwwww! It looks like one of those poor unfortunate gene mutated efforts that comes from randy local park ducks/geese/turkeys doing randy duck type things!

I really think this could be a new one to science :nuts:

Lovely capture though :thumbs:

The ugly duckling, that's way beyond ugly but grows on you after a while :)
