Comment by Chandi:
A very difficult high-contrast scene exposed nicely (although the white chest looks a bit blown).
My focus is immediately drawn to the eye of the bird, which ended up close to the center of the pic. I would crop the pic differently to keep the eye as close to the thirds as possible, and away from the center. Although the reflection wouldn't be clear, a full reflection would look better than a chopped off one I think.

Great decision to put the brown egg behind the white one, It helps to bring them out. Maybe a tighter crop on the right would have worked better?

Border notwithstanding, this feels a bit like black and white film -- which is a compliment.

Yeah. I think this crop works pretty well.
As does the border. Nice work!

The focus could be a little sharper, and your whites a little whiter

i think i would have liked to have seen this with the person cropped out. or at least that i couldn't see their feet. still an 8 for an excellent idea and great execution.

I like it, very simple, neutral tones dont make anything too gawdy.
