Anticipation

Two yellow warblers with dark eyes flank a twig-and-grass nest holding five pale speckled eggs, set low in dense green foliage against a mottled white-and-green background. Fine linear detailing renders each bird's feathers, while the surrounding ferns and leaves are rendered in flat layered greens typical of the reductive relief process.
