This was one of my top picks for the challenge. Gave you a 10. I'm surprised to see it as low as it is. Going in my favorites.

Comment by KevinRiggs:
Intense use of lines and right angles in this composition. The bird, by contrast (please pardon the pun), stands out as organic. Since you already have one incongruous entity in the composition (the bird) I find the red lights and the numbers at the bottom third to be a little much. Without the organic subject's silhouette I think those would provide a strong interest point against the backdrop of the black and white. Overall still an above average shot.

No doubt you will get some concerned comments regarding these eggs. You didn't disturb a nest of course? Good composition; background is a little harsh.

gosh, you are so good! there is always something going on in your pictures, or there is a deep expression being delivered.
i don't have any idea where you go, and what you do to get these shots. me! i'm really shy for this kind of pictures. i can't get near people, i always think they will get confused.
and by the way ... i guess you must have hundereds of albums full of great moments you saw and caught.
that is something to see! wow!

Comment by MaYz:
very clever. The composition is very pleasing to the eye. The positioning of your subject was also a very wise choice. I think any other placing of the nest wouldn't have been as effective.

A touch dark but wonderful anyway. Nicely composed, the feathers adding just the right touch. Hope we're not depriving a mother bird of her nest and hens for this shot? :o) One of my top 5 for this challenge.

This is such a great abstrace.....the use of lines is spectacular here.
