 This nest is in the tree in our front yard, at just the right height that I can look out of our bedroom window into it. I noticed a robin up there this morning, and saw that she was feeding her chicks. So I went upstairs and took a picture of the nest, and this little one popped its head up, looking for food.

the well focussed branch on the right takes the eye away from your subject. slight closer crop on the babies would have been better in my opnion...

Originally rated a 6 because of the impression of not quite meeting the challenge subject, it's been rerated as a 10 because of it's technical excellance and artistic impact enough it doesn't quite meet the challenge criteria. The colors, shades and crisp detail along with terrific use of bokeh to balance the image is incredible - better than any of the images viewed so far in the challenge. Everything is perfectly in balance in this image and while it doesn't quite meet the challenge subject, it is brilliant in so many ways it's hard to describe. Well done.

Not exactly motion, but still a great capture.

great colors, textures and composition. (Focus seems to be more on the tree than the chick)

I'd like to see more of the birds in the nest. Great picture though
