    Awesome, Sid,
    It made me laugh the second I opened it.
    Great, almost cartoonist photo (I hope this doesn't offend you, I mean it in a good way).
    The lens angle of the bird and eggs is really good.
    You almost lost the beak focus in the DOF, but it holds enough to work.
    Very nice.

    What a lovely surprise to open the thumbnail and see the eggs. A great shot. Good tight composition and excellent exposure,

    A very lovely one! Is this a crop or full frame picture? Where was it taken? I love the shells/ground. Well done!

    exquisite angle and exposure here Sid!
    the eggs take it over the top
    I doubt you would have done anything to make the bird uncomfortable...

    Love it Sid. The pose, the low angle and the eggs. Sometimes when I lose the dof on a bill i find darkening it a little helps me but i am sure you already know that trick I want to know what is pink near the egg? Is it another egg?

    Super clean image and handsome bird. I really like the way you render the whites in this one.

    Not an egg for sure. May be some kind of shell?
