Julian, nice little still life type image. I might crop out the green leaf at the bottom, but fine combo of shape, colors and textures.

Nicely composed. A lot of variety in this little scene. I like it a lot.

Good Title. The multi-colored rocks look like they were collected from the corners of the Earth and place lovingly in the soft nest by a giant Scottish bird. The wet-looking reflections contribute to the interesting textures and colors.

A beautiful combination of textures and color contrasts. I really like staring into this one.

It always nice finding the colorful rocks in a space void of color. Nice work Julian.

The coloring of those rocks is very nice and the dried grass around the edges really adds, a very nice close up of nature!

This really looks like a nest, with the bonus of that kaleidoscope of... eggs! Great find and a wonderful work in taking and processing it.

Excellent detail image Julian, a very fine composition and an even better title. It's as if someone collected all those colorful stones and placed them there.

The boulders appear as if they are resting on a bed of thick fur, a beautiful intrinsic landscape Julian.

I like the combination of textures here Julian. The form is reminiscent of Eliot Porter's Iceland series. I wish there was just a bit more detail in the shadows, but they are not a terrible loss.
