Definition or Picture of 'Leggy' ??

Hello fellow gardeners. Could someone post a picture here of leggy versus perfectly healthy seedlings, in different sizes such as when they're say, 2" tall and say, 4" tall?

I'm somewhat confused by everyone's definition of leggy seedlings. In comparison to what?

For example, if you line up a bunch of kids, you'll find many of them have what'd I'd call spindly little legs. But, in comparison to what? The bigger kid who is destined to be 6' and 200 pounds, or the one who's destined to be 5'8" and 150 pounds? Most of them will have spindly little legs. Afterall, they're just kids.

So, since seedlings are just little babies, what is a leggy seedling compared to a good one?

Maybe mine are all leggy and I just don't know it =:)
