this is a very nice shot, sweet and warm. the high key works well, and her expression is great. the score isn't too bad either, really!

hey, sandy. ooo, i miss weavers....

that background is truly lovely - bokeh at its best. the composition is very good, i really like the placement of the nest in the frame. the image looks simply wonderful from a few feet back, but at the desk a few problems creep in.

i also agree with deb about the blending in. perhaps if you greened up the background a bit, that might help the weaver stand out a bit more. another point is the focus isn't quite on, but looks like it's trying to be. does that make any sense? it's just so close, but not quite there, which becomes a bit distracting. and, lastly, the shadow on the nest looks a bit grubby, like that section is exposed differently. did you burn the shadow in a bit?

lovely image indeed. it's amazing how the weather can mute all colours - i have quite a few that are full colour, yet black and white.
