Cedar Waxwing

Tighter crop this time. Let me know that do you think. Thanks.

Great shot

Vary nice shot

what a wonderful shot, beautiful color and detail, capturing the action with a soft hue. very nice.

Wonderful shot. I'd use photoshop to clone out that leaf at upper left. It's a bit distracting to me, but that mere nitpicking. Nicely done.

The crop really works well! That you can see the yellow-tipped tail is fantastic.

 

Agreed on the leaf upper-left, and yup, that's a real nit. The background is gorgeous.

 

I think he picked the best berry. Did you know that waxwings, when their flock finds a great berry tree such as this, will often gorge themselves to the point where they can't fly? I thought that was funny - adds depth to their character and their look. Gluttons!

thanks everyone!

 

Mike and Christopher:

I think you are right, I'll try to clone it out later. I dodn't notice much at first, but once you point it out, it becomes quite obvious.

 

Christopher:

Yes, in one of the book I read also mentioned that. What a lovely bird, I certainly learn a lot after I took photograph them.

 

There was 20-30 birds together, most of them are Cedar Waxwings but also a few American Robins, I took about 30 shots total. They are so enjoy these berries and completely ignored me! Really wonderful experience.

 

This was not an easy capture! The moment I looked at it it grabbed my attention and held it. Great patience and great work. 7/7 with no reservations whatsoever.

Outstanding shot.

Wonderful colors and composition! 7/7

Exquisite! Thankyou for sharing.
