Sharp eye, good exposure. The background is very busy. The blured wing is a little distracting to me. Beautiful bird, good picture.

J, The BG says to me that is "where the bird loves to be" - and the blurred wing adds to the "moment"! Great job. Bob

Very good job here Jonathan. I love everything about this image and the blurred wings adds a lot of motion to the image. In a perfect world, I think that this image would be much better without the overlaping of the birds and berries but we can not have all the things that we want) Very good BG and the berrie in the bill is a big bonus ;-)

I agree with Rene, I find the blurred wing distracting but it couldn't be helped with the way the Waxwing was perched, other than that though, I love everything about the shot, colours and sharpness are out of this world.
