Hi all, Today we had a visit from a very enthusiastic flock of Cedar Waxwings, which made good use of the Mountain Ash, Firethorn (Pyracantha crenulata), and Douglas Juniper berries. This one posed for me while gulping down a couple of bright orange berries from the Firethorn bush. I have removed a couple of branches that merged with parts of the bird.
Canon 7D, Canon 500 f/4 with 1.4x, ISO 400, 1/250s, f/5.6, +1EV.
I can't decide whether I should crop a bit from the top or not...this image is full frame.
All comments and critiques are welcome and much appreciated.
A really nice image with the full view of all the feather details. I particularly like the sharpness and colours. As I looked at the photo, prior to reading your comments, I thought I would take a tad off the top. Very well done. Dave
I definitely like the compostion as-is. No crop needed. Excellent perch, pose, background. The whites look a bit hot to me but other than that this is perfection.
