How carefully the twigs were crafted and curved into shape to serve the nestlings who have now long gone in this. The fluffs of the blown in remains of the seed pods almost resemble an ironic substitute. You have managed to capture both delicate and poignant in one superb shot.

Nice colours and a good idea, however i find the crop a little heavy and would prefer the whole nest to be in focus.

This was an 8 until I scrolled down and saw the bottom... it ruined the etheralness (is that a word?) of it for me.

Still it's a 7. I'd have cropped it just above the horizontal twigs at bottom right and left.

BEAUTIFUL!
