Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Alice.
This shot does have a lovely warm glow to it. You have compiling a lovely composition with some excellent well-thought out touches (such as the feathers). The eggs seem a little too soft, and do not really stand-out from the nest - I think they need more yellow in their gold to give them some pop. I'm not really sure how you went about lighting this so all I'll say on the subject is that the slight highlights on the eggs are perfect and the shadows are appropriatly soft.
I notice you used an 8 second shutter speed with a small aperture. I think a wider aperture (say around F10) with a faster shutter would have produced a crisper image.
To grow your vote: The core subject (the eggs) should stand-out better to really capture your audiences eye. This would mean sharper with mroe contrast between them and the background.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
Cheers
