Very nice image! Great pose and colours, and good view of the bright wing tips.
I'd suggest cropping tighter on the bottom to remove the OOF branches.
The berry in the beak is a big plus, but tough to see. I'd suggest carefully cloning out some of the surrounding foliage so the beak and berry is in the clear. The eye is important, so a little work with levels and brightness/contrast should bring the eye out.
Well worth a bit more work!

This is a nice image of a waxwing showing it's colors also good composition. The colors look a little to saturated to me. I think Sandy has given some good advice.

Very nicely done. Nice pose and nice perch. That berry adds so much to the image and was already commented upon. If you do some cloning away, I would suggest including the almost bare twig at the URC.

You did a great job on what seems like relatively harsh light Wayne.
