Thankfully, they are hanging around, but fog is now the main hazard. I'll be back tomorrow though!

A lovely image Ian, I think I'd be tempted to loose the OOf Bramble beneath the bird though.

A great capture Ian, I'm still waiting to see one of these beautiful birds.
I agree, that bramble in the corner isn't doing anything for me either.
Well captured.

Nice profile... I'm not too concerned about the OOF bramble, its your call to keep or not, doesn't spoil a very nice image...

The background colour suits the bird, and I do like the composition. I do agree with other comments about losing that oof bramble though.

Excellent Ian,

It is nice to see a Waxwing with a clear but complimentary background. The image would be better without the extra bramble but it was there so I understand why it is included in your image.

Cheers

Austin
