I found this nest on the ground one day and decided to photograph it. I think the textures and detail are awesome. Hope you do, too.

The complexity of these nests is amazing. Here the nests are usually round or oval and hanging from tree limbs. Interesting subject presented nicely.

Yes, Lucy, your image nicely shows the design and detail of the nest. Interesting study.

Ludy, I think this is a fine documentary shot with nice framing. The image, even in the larger photo, appears to be soft, and I could be mistaken.
