 One of three young robinettes, born to Mr and Mrs Robinson. The parents have been diligently caring for these youngsters. They nested just out side a window in a Japaneese Maple, so the whole experience has been watched closely. My D70 just returned from repair - today, so this was the first opportunity I've had to shoot them. the camoflage is quite remarkable and I'll show additional shots after the voting to illustrate how difficult they are to see.

The blur in the bottom left corner is rather distracting.

Adorable shot of this baby bird, but where is the connection to the challenge? I'm not seeing the 'Color on Color' in this. Sorry. Good luck.

oh wow! Haha, that's awesome.... whatever it is (lense flare?) in the lower left and upper right corners is causing problems for me. You got a cute picture though.

That's adorable.
Tehere's a lot of unfocused things all over the 'front' that are really bothersome to the eye.
The picture is also grainy.

baby birds are so hysterical looking. lol I think you missed though on having your subject the same color as your background.
