Good shot. The frosty berries finish the image off.

very nice, I like the frost. A bit more eye contact might have been nice but still an interesting pose.

Hi, quite simply "fantastic" I must confess Waxwings are my favourite birds, and look forward to them every winter.

A bit different seeing them all fluffed up! The frosty berries are the icing.

Excellent/faultless shot of the Waxwing, just right for the web, but needs more space commercially. Background berries are a slight distraction.

Really like the frosted stems and how fluffed up it is - tells me it was pretty cold!
