The basket fades nicely into the dark background. If moss had been available to you, like the gren kind that comes in the plastic bags at the craft store, or spanish moss, or soemthing a bit more natural to bscure the upper rim of the basket, I'd have liked that aspect better. The shells and feathers and nicely placed, showing our little egg has taken flight. Placement inthe lower left is a nice touch, too. 8 crisa58

Very on topic, many lost everything for the gain of a few. IMO great use of the required blank space, would you have used a square format if it were allowed? One of my top ten picks this challenge.

Unclear weather this nest egg hatched or was broken. The feathers are too large and distracting. I like your concept a lot but it needed a little more development. Also things are a little dark - you only have 1 light source and I think you could have used a second or third.

I like the lighting tones, but it could use a bit more contrast.

Beautiful, beautiful image but other than the title has nothing to do with the challenge. Now, if you have thrown in a copy of your 401K statement or something like that it would have helped a lot.

Very original idea! I wish there were some way for you to imply the 401k thing in the photo though...love it all the same. 9 Lisa
