Oh my.... absolutely wonderful capture. The exposure on this pic offers up grand natural color and fabulous lighting. Such fantastic strength in the focus as well. This fellow posed perfectly for you - fabulous snap. Thanks for sharing.

A wonderful capture of one of the prettiest and , to me, most mysterious. They appear out of nowhere, sit for a while and then disappear, perhaps for years. Really impressive work.

This is gorgeous! I like how you got a pose that shows all the colors of this bird. The lighting is flattering and the clarity is nice. These are such pretty birds and you have presented this one very well.

Wow! This is a stunning capture Cedar Waxwing Bird. I love that you captured him on that diagonal branch adding contrast and dynamics to your scene. A very realistic shot of this gorgeous specimen. Super eye clarity. Good quality of light natural looking and eye catching. Your spot on sharp focus giving us incredible details and colors. Your backdrop a lovely field of pastel bokeh. Outstanding photography and thanks for sharing. I love this one and this bird!

such a lovely image of this cedar waxwing, the bird stands out in nice definition
against thebokah in the back ground, good focus and clarity, great detail on the plumage, nice catch light to the eye,
I like the bird sitting on the diagonal branch which
is well placed in the frame. great work.

Thank you for taking this with such sharp focus and for muting the background. It allowed me to get a good look at this handsome fellow. I wonder wher the term wax wing comes from. Nice composition and framing. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

    Thank you so much for the great review! The term waxwing comes from the red on the tips of their feathers that has a resemblance to sealing wax.
