Meet "Ugly the Second" - he's a fully grown Sailfin Plecostomos who is in the region of 8" from nose to tail. I've had him since he was about just over an inch long.
My Get Pushed challenge this week was to depict something that made me go 'bleugh' but photograph it nicely with extra points for putting into EOTB category.
I've not fulfilled this challenge completely as although Ugly is not everyone's idea of attractive, I find him quite appealing, but you always get one, don't you!
He's a very retiring sort of chap, likes hiding incognito under the driftwood, and he can be quite shy. I was hoping to capture him munching on the algae on the sides of the tank so you could see his jaws in action (again I find this quite endearing) but he didn't oblige. He does a thorough job on cleaning the insides of the tank, looks aren't everything after all!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I hunted and hunted for a snail today in the rain, but they remained hidden. So here is Ugly for your challenge, I hope you like him!
@fbailey Hi, Thanks for your challenge, already working on it but I may not be able to get to a church this week but I do have one in reserve that I might have to use.
For your challenge I would like you to photograph something, or somewhere, in your local area that epitomises what makes the place special for you. Could be a building, a landscape, a person even, anything that really speaks to you.
