17 Baby


The baby that hatched in this egg is long gone leaving only the shell behind.

  1. I wonder who hatched? A chick? An ugly duckling? A velociraptor? Nice choice for the theme - it leaves it to our imaginations.

  2. That's a bit poignant for us soon-to-be empty nesters.

  6. Well I hope it was a baby velociraptor! Great shot - I like that it is laying in what looks to be a nest but the size is our guess.

  7. Hey the parents put a little bit away for a long time to provide that, safe and secure temporary home for that chick. Great Take.

  9. Awesome picture for the theme, now my imagination woke up... :D So I put my vote on a velociraptor egg. ;)

  10. I vote for sending the baby velociraptor to Ron. I heard he has an empty nest. ;-)

    It's a great shot - finding a egg shell is always such a treat.

  12. I really like the colors and the shot. I'll try my hand at some constructive criticism here. For my taste, I think I would have liked to see more negative space in the straw surrounding the egg if possible. I think it would have looked a bit more empty and left behind if there was more breathing room. That's what I find my eyes searching for.
