I second this. although I'd exclude human infants as they are truly hideous.

How are human infants any different than any new born animals? They are both whiny and needy if you ask me

yes but we're talking esthetics. human babies are beautiful to their mothers, but objectively speaking they are grotesque-looking and unpleasant to the eye.

Oh if we're talking about aesthetics I'd pick animal babies

I'll pick three of many because all three incorporate or involve many of the others:
A Bach fugue for organ.
Colour.
The relationships in space and proportion between objects.

Ooh! Ooh! I know this one! It's something to do with the lamentation of their women, innit?

Top of mountain on a cold, crisp morning as the sun rises and you can suddenly see forever into the distance and the animals around you don't really pay attention to you all. The feeling you get is that you have blended into nature and you're alive and breathing for the first time.

I am suddenly reminded of this quote by Kahlil Gibran

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.. But you are the eternity and and you are the mirror
