Description
Look at that -- Life itself happening right before my eyes!! I've never seen a baby bird before, let alone a nest of them - and now there's one in the garden. We're also lucky because it's easy to see without disturbing the baby blackbirds
Not so easy to photograph quietly though! This was taken with my new Sony Cybershot

Very nice an gentle shot, tho its not the baby birds you should be bothered bout disturbing.
Its the parents and if they feel a nest is violated they will leave the chicks to stave.

I dont know why but i find baby birds sort of creepy
Not sure why
My dad has blackbirds nesting right outside the backdoor of his house which is kind of cool.

Sometimes I find them cute, other times they scare me 
That is cool!

Aww, now that brings back memories from when I used to help mum at breeding season. All you could hear was the chick's constand demands for food. Something so small yet so noisy!

Wow that must have been such a nice job!

It was lovely seeing them grow, from featherless blobs to fill birds. Could get quite attached to them. I just have two birds now but they give me a lot of pleasure to watch them.

Aww...
Lovely piece, I must say.
I like the perspective and how the bird is reaching up blindly. You can almost hear its cries, even.
A vignette would be pretty cool, and more saturation/contrast would make this pop out a bit, but the naturalness reflects the concept well, regardless.

A black border around the frame.
You can add one in Photoshop... not sure about GIMP, though.
