 Broad-tailed Hummingbird nest.

post voting: I thought this was a pretty much peaceful and silent image representing the concept of Zen. I'm somewhat disappointed so many voted this so low. And, in the scene, I definitely don't see anything other than a very nice hummingbird nest with momma hummer incubating eggs. The rabbit comment was very offensive to me. The person who thinks this is an "unsettling" image lives in a very different world than I live in.

I don't think you are looking at my image. I strongly disagree with everything you have said. But, it is your right (I guess) to say whatever comes to your mind. Your comments offend me.
