    I've never seen them this young. Gorgeous image bud, too cute to put into words!
    I do hope this one lives its life to the full and dies of old age one day having spawned many offspring...

    Congrats Dumay
    looks like that little bugger is standing on an green island and calling for mummy to fetch him.
    techs look quite good here,would not change a thing.

    The grass 'mat' adds a nice platform for the subject, set against that reddish colouring of the soil. A cute & priceless image indeed, from what looks like a curled lip, he/she is not too impressed with you Dumay, LOL. A lovely capture, lets hope this one continues onto a ripe old age.

    Superb Dumay, never seen them so young, so cute. The IQ is excellent, love the BG and head angle.

    Dumay,

    What a wonderful sighting, perfectly captured. Do you perhaps have any of it standing with mum so that others can appreciate how small it is?
