Just don't park your car under them! Beautiful shot, Douglas. Very nice detail in the larger image. An unusual pose, but I like the downward view. The bird is doing what comes naturally, and that is worth capturing. Your setting of -1 EV handled the glare well. :toast:

I like this pic because it has a unique composition wih good backround. Were you above the bird? Well done.

It looks like your focal point is spot on and the comp is very nice. :smile:

Douglas:
I like the sharpness of the bird, tje crisp view of the leaves and berries the the left of the bird, and overall BG color. The unusual perspective is effective in showing the variety of colors of the bird. The image belongs in a set of Waxwing photos - I would not want it to be my only waxwing shot, but would love to have it in a collection of shots. :toast:
