Cedar Waxwing on the Wylie Slough

[Terry Olmsted]

Taken in morning light May of last year along the Wylie trail located on Fir Island near Conway, Washington. After hunting season ends in late January, this is a wonderful place for birding. Highly variable lighting.

very nice composition, I like the viewing angle. Have you used a noise reduction or painting tool? There is a texture in the bird feathers.

Hi Rene. There was no editing other than minor sharpening. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Terry, nice capture if a little steep.
It could go a little lighter and noise reduction, as mentioned by Rene.

Thanks, Fabs. I'll get it right yet :)
