A robin’s nest from last year in the bamboo. Dappled shade is tricky light to me, in this I wrapped a leaf around the on- camera flash to diffuse it.

The color and perspective are great but what I like is the contrast in textures between the bamboo and the moss covered nest.

Great eye, to find that tucked away in the bamboo. Love all the greens.

What a great shot Ellen, love the composition. How clever to do that with the flash!!

Clever girl! Your management of the dappled sun produced a lovely, even light. I really like the perspective of looking downward along the lines of the stalks, which helps distort our sense of reality about the size of this mossy nest. My mind is leading me towards thinking it is home to a pterydactyl rather than robin!

this is an amazing shot, I can just imagine the little family in there. Great idea with the flash, I would never have thought of it.

Now that looks like a cozy little home all nestled up in that bamboo….great idea to hide the flash…I think you captured more details and colors without it!
