What a beautiful looking bird! You have shot it well. The focus and sharpness is excellent.The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort.!

Oh this title is perfect because this bird appears so sleek and almost painterly.
Such a beautiful image with the subtle touch of color in its feather tails. A clear and wonderful side view of this pretty and soft appearing species. Really a beauty to see this close.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Yes, it seems waterproof just by looking at its waxy texture...

EyeCATching exotic beauty!
Dynamic diagonal positioning.
An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors save for the orange & yellow tail accents.
Excellent details & features. Impressive setting & textures. Thanks for sharing...

What a great title for this 'Sleek Beauty'. I think Waxwings are so regal looking and when they are surrounded by red berries they are a sight to behold. Great sofus and corors here. Yes it looks like you hauled off a truck load of debris from this one. Good work Pat ~ Steve

    Thanks so much! This was a very cluttered image , with branches mainly , I must have worked in it for a good hour! I do have some shots of them with the red berries!

A very nice shot. Nice diagonal placement fills the frame. The light is excellent and the eye seems to glow. The colors could not be nicer and the background is fine but for the lower right corner.

Comment from Robert Plain


Nice catch, Pat. They don't get down here much. I'm still trying to catch a cedar with no luck. Beautiful photograph. Nice of him to land on the diagonal branch. Automatic composition. Did you pay him?

    Thanks so much Robert! It was a lucky shot and then it took a long time to remove a lot of distracting branches!

What a beauty, Pat. Not familiar with it and enjoyed seeing it for the fist time. Will look it up in my bird book. Wonderful classic Audubon style shot with superb clarity and detail showing off those wax like feathers. So well done and a great share. Ed.
