Comment from Sange
I do like the Black and white and the lighting here. A nice view of the nest and eggs. What color where the eggs? If they had a color, I may have chosen selective color on this. But that is me.. I am always fascinated by the gorgeous colors of bird eggs.
nice capture Mary!

Hi Sange the Wagtail eggs are a dappled cream only fairly small, was balancing on top of the ladder to get this one and couldn't actually see into the nest just held camera above and hoped for best :)

Thanks again, balancing on top of a ladder holding camera precariously over the nest which I couldn't actually see into just glad we all survived. :) Mary

Beautiful and refreshing sight. Reminds me of early Spring, where everything is blooming and birds are nesting. Great clarity of the texture of the nest and some spot of the eggs. Nice conversion to black and white and nicely framed with dark background. Well captured.
