Good use of thirds here. Absolutely love the interesting, detailed clouds and very natural sky gradient. While the foot path provides a leading line into the scene, I think it may be a net negative because it cuts up the foreground meadow. The forested hills are interesting. Rich tonal range. Don't know if you used color channels for your BW conversion, or not. If not, then that might have been a method to transform this nice scene into an even better monochrome.

Totally antropomorphic! Also zoomorphic, in thumb format. Very strange.

The bud in front is a nice touch, the way you lined it up. I like the soft easy light & the flat, graphic look of this. Makes me wonder what lens, what settings, etc. And the water drops. Easy fav.

Very complementary background, and lovely light and focus.

Nice image overall. A little heavy on the background detail (Topaz?).

LOVE the background almost more than the beautiful subject.

Lovely. All of it.

If I cannot award points for a title, I cannot detract points for a title. This is a basket, not a nest... and it's not empty, it had feathers in it...
