This is a great species Karl, and your recent images of them are beautiful! This one is no exception! The berry in the beak is the clincher...
Cheers, Greg

Karl -

Really like the detail that you were able to get in this one. I always imagine these guys being "silky smooth", but this image shows me the detail in the feathers. The crop and composition are great, good choice of going vertical here.

I may be inclined to brighten the eye just a touch, but I'm not familiar enough with the waxwings to know if it may be noticeable PP.

Im with Wendell LOL:) I want one too. This is really nice and I just love the perch dripping with berries. I keep finding myself drawn to the eye and wonder if it would be helpful to lighten the shadow on it?
