227/365 - Jim - Rejected Egg

( f/13 105mm 1/13 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )
I found this robin egg in my front yard landscaping. It must have been rejected from the nest, but I didn't see any nests around it. I moved it into the grass and got really low by laying on the grass and letting bugs crawl all over me to take this photo. Then I used Lightroom to give the grass more of a wheat field look. I also applied a softening effect with Picasa.

Sad for the poor egg. Made a nice photo though, not sure why you couldn't have just left the grass green.

It looked ok with green grass, but the effect gave it a more unique look and I liked it that way best.

I like robin's egg blue for a paint color, maybe bathroom?

probably one of those big crows grabbed it out of a nest and dropped it, nice photo.
