    DAN:

    Lovely fall colors, the reds, browns and yellows, sharp,well exposed.

    The combination of the direction of gaze and berry arrangements makes this a bit of a challenge to crop. It would have been easier if he was looking the opposite way, then could be cropped from the right easily.

    Do you have others from this series?

    This one really does evoke fall feelings!

    Dan,

    I really like this waxwing with the beautiful colorful background. I like the composition, leaving the berries on the left is the right way to go in my opinion.

    A species I donīt know yet! you bring a nice bird with some great looking habitat, I am with Randy on the direction of head, I wish it was looking to the left, but you know birds.... I still would crop a tad on top. keep it up!

    One of my favorites in one of it's favorite habitats. Techs look good. Were the head pointing to our left, a vertical crop would have worked nicely.

    Nice look-back pose, and you captured the red and yellow spots that are his signatures. I like the environment captured, although I could also imagine a version with some cropping from left and top.
