That's a super shot, so clear and full of detail. Nice background too enhances the outline profile very well of this little guy. The tree branch is in perfect focus to capture the main subject who is m quite beautiful. Excellent focus and use of light. Lovely composition

This is a lovely bird. I really like the soft yellows and grays of its plumage. The red on his wingtips and the reddish spiked head feathers add a nice spot of color.

Very beautiful! As an artist, I like the idea of warm yellowish colors with cool light blue colors of the sky. Nicely cropped and adjusted, this photo is one of the best! I love the orange accent color on the wing and his hair cut!!! In my opinion the photo deserves to be at the All time best category. Great job, Amazing Grace!!!

I love the Cedar Wax Wing and this is a beautiful shot of this one. Really like the off center orientation. Light is lovely and colors are so attractive. Nice!

Wow! Such a beautiful bird! And you've captured its beauty perfectly here in this photo. Its coloring is breathtaking, and looks gorgeous against that clear blue sky.

What a spectacular bird and what a spectacular photo! The colors are so clear and clean thanks to your superior focus. Good cropping shows off the bird, though I would have lopped off the green leaf. I'll put this species on my bucket list now.

    Thank you! I appreciate the suggestion too, I lopped out the leaves :)
Comment from Jo Calderbank


A beautiful crisp clear image grace of this lovely waxwing, the side profile captures all the detail in the head feathers, the bird stands out clear and well defined from the blue sky, natural colours, love the yellow against the blue, pin sharp focus, the bird is well positioned in the frame. Great photo, would love to get one of these but they
Are usually in the North of England, though some have been spotted close to me in Cambridgeshire. Nice work.

Such a gorgeous bird and capture of the Cedar Waxwing. I like you off center placement with your side profile. Superb eye clarity! I like the emotions and expressions captured. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your diffused background compliments your beautiful work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Excellent capture, Grace, showing this colourful Cedar Waxwing perched at the top of the tree - the wind doesn't seem to be bothering him. I like the profile view showing his wings. Excellent lighting and focus showing a lovely crisp image. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Beautiful shot of this glistening smooth bird with subtle gradient shading on his fine feathers. I like his crest, beady black eye and beautiful markings. My sincere admiration for your photography once again! Daphne Oberon
