This belongs to the same friend with the cars; it rests on the outside of her barn.

@Suzanne Labbé: Thank you so much, Suzanne.
It's amazing where birds will nest. A wonderful image Melissa.

@MaryB: I don't think this image would have the same "feeling" without the nest...that's my favorite part. Thank you so much, Mary. :)
Great shot. love the processing. gives it sort of an (for lack of a better term) rugged old western look. excellent.

@danthro: Thanks, danthro. All I did was add a levels and curves adjustment and then a vignette...that's it. I'm really pleased how this turned out. Thanks again. :)
Very cool shot. I love the contrast of the white and the wood ... and you are right, the next makes the shot!

@Melissa: Thank you so much, Melissa. :)
Great shot , colours, contrast and texture are fantastic.

Great Shot

The contrast is what strikes me, also. It almost looks like you've desaturated the wood background ... it's so richly weathered and grainy. Beautiful light and composition, as well.

the lighting throughout is excellent. professional look.

@e nelsonian: Thank you so much.
excellent light and color:)

This is striking, and I agree with everyone that the lighting is very good, very even. Like the dark background.

My brother (lightwriter.aminus3.com) will love this, he had such a skull hanging on the wall of his kitchen for a long time!

@Illuci: Thank you for the very nice comments, Erik. Very much appreciated. :)
You're right, the nest really does make this image. NICELy done!
28 Mar 2008 9:09am
Very daunting. I love the shadow that casts around it. Vignette?
29 Mar 2008 8:32am
@Edward James: Yep, it's a vignette. ;)
I agree about the nest.

every thing is perfect, but the textures on the rope and woods, are great, hard photo to balance, white subject and dark background, its like taking a picture of a swan in an lake!! dificult.

@pedro alexandre: Thank you for the very kind words, Pedro. Your encouragement is always very much appreciated. :)
Hi Melissa. beautiful. The dead care for the new-born this way. Thats how t was, is and will be. Great picture.

@the lightwriter: I never thought about that way until I read your comment. Beautiful statement. Now when I look at the image, I can't believe I didn't make that connection before. Thank you so very much for the comment; you are very right. :)
Wonderful shot! Definitely been hanging there a while... :) The nest and rope are great! You might want to try the shot dead on with a telephoto in order to get the boards vertical - I have no idea if it would be better or not, but it would keep the boards from being at different angles.

@James: That's a wonderful suggestion...I'll have to remember that. Thank you, James. :)
I like this shot. I like the subject and what you've done with the color. Really nice job.

@Henry: Thank you, Henry.
I'm late on the scene! I'm afraid I have nothing new to say: this is indeed a wonderful shot. beautifully exposed and nicely processed (I like the vignette - it works here) and the nest does make the shot more interesting.
