Very nice. I like the composition and generally the b&w idea. Also like the way you had the "spot light" on the background. What is a shame is that the detail of the white pearls against the white background gets lost. Still, really cool pic

I think this makes 17 of the last 20 in the top ten. That is amazing! Love that head poking out of the nest. Nice work as always!

A poetic and somewhat indecipherable title perfectly suited to the image.

Originally posted by aliqui: It's a great scene, but honestly the blown highlights detract from the scene for me.

I do agree -- however it's a very difficult area to shoot. The birds are actually quite dark, so you need to overexpose to get the details in the shadows. Even though I shoot RAW, when it's bright sunlight, you either lose the shadows or over expose the head/wing tops. Too bad it can't shoot fast enough to bracket while flying! :)

You're at the mercy of the light.
