was watching this nest that some crazy bird made underneath our deck of all places... unrelated to this, had absolutely no inspiration for the challenge... until the young birds left the nest yesterday - making it obsolete, of course... what luck!

The white background is nice, I would like to see this with a black background to tone down the light some. I would not hve shot this in a natural setting because the nest would have been hard to see. I don't think that it would have stood out as well. I think that picking a solid background was a good choice.
The nest is a great idea for the theme! I agree that having a feather or cracked eggs even in the nest would be interesting but I also like it empty.
Where you positioned the nest in the frame is great too. I like how the main part is off to the side.
Overall, nice picture and I think that you did a great job. This challenge was difficult to rise to the top because of so many entries.
Good luck in future challenges!
I like the bird's nest, but for such a natural object, the photo feels too staged. It might have been more interesting if were in the context of a discarded background, like on the ground or something. (Hope you don't mind a constructive comment.)
