Steve, I agree with Jim. Is there a bird there? it is a little hard to see. Love the delicate branches with flowers.

Hi Steven, technially I think your photo is flawless, good capture of nature, yet a bit difficult for me to get the theme of "alone" out of the shot! Cheers, Feri

Hi Jim. Thanks for the analytical eye. I have done my ultimate PhotoShop best to blur the background more. Tell me if you like it better. I am not sure, I liked the mess in the original as it shows the abundance of spring.
There is a lot to like here. Nice DOF control and good detail on the nest twiggs and flower. The downside is the bird (there is a bird there, isn't there?) is hard to see. Also the background blends with the foreground rather than providing good contrast. Some things you can't control.

My! Is that ever pretty, as well as being sharp, well-composed and beautifully saturated...
