Hello Paul.

Beautiful image, composition, background, and the pose captured all spot on.

As good as they come for this species , lighting is a touch flat but that enhances all the detail very nicely

Lovely shot, one that will no doubt be on the list of many photographers here. I'm only viewing on an iPad but the detail around the eye looks a little blocked up and could do with some selective lightening.

I much prefer this pose to the up-right position so often seen - it gives the image dynamism.

Cheers,
Chris

I agree with Chris about the area around the eye, but otherwise a cracking shot.

Very nice image Paul, much better than my attempts at the local waxwings, usually there is very little light so well done.
