Waxwing

This one and his buddies were up early eating berries. A little noisy on his shady side and the bg needs some work, but the morning light made this one I think. C & C always welcomed. Thanks for looking. Bob

Beutiful bird.


I think with some NR management as first step PP and the exposure and shadows brought up there (it is exposed to the left) could be improvement.

Ver nice use of sidelight. I think you could go lighter if you mask the whites. Good DOF for f/6.3. I may soften the lines on the left.
