Anni - really nice idea for the challenge. Lovely colours and the spibers web over the hole really helps emphasise just how 'closed' this birdbox is.

I would be interested to see it re-cropped with the box slightly straightened on the verticals and the crop pulled in from the right to lose the side of the box. . .

Nice shot.

What a GREAT idea for a closing challenge! And I love the contrast between the pretty purple flowers and the unattended state of the bird house with the spider webs and faded wood.

Great job, Anni!!!

Nice capture of the web. Nice colors and textures. The bird house appears to be leaning to the right.

A very clever and subtle take on the challenge which is matched by the photo itself. May not be to everyone's liking but I have to say I think its cool

This is really a great shot. I love the wood texture and the bee (and the colors, and the spider web, and the open door, and the DOF, and the...)

The composition could have been better, like taking from a lower angle maybe.
