Cedar Waxwing

[Jack Backs]

I took this early last June out of the window of my vehicle. There was an area of brush the conservation department had killed along a lake reservoir.
A pair of Cedar Waxwings were hunting for nesting materials. Full frame plus. Added some canvas on the top and bottom to try to give it a little more
breathing room. Can't remember for sure but it must have been a little overcast judging by the iso.

Top notch, Jack. It can be difficult to capture the fine feather detail on a Cedar Waxwing, and you've accomplished it beautifully. Like the perch, pose, and very nice background.

Its a fine shot, perhaps still a little tight in the frame. I would suggest lifting the darkest plumage just a little, it looks very dense to me.

Vert nice view of this waxwing. Like the diaganol perch and the background is alright. Bird is nice and sharp.

[Bill Dix]

Nicely detailed shot of this finely-feathered friend. Good comp.

Jack nice shot of this waxwing, nice details, perch and BG. A little tight of a crop for my taste though.
