Beautiful photograph of this alert Waxwing! Impeccable focus, even when zooming in on the bird to see his eye, all his plumage remained in focus, as did the foliage. Off center right, with his gaze in the same direction is a great attribute in the composition. Good lighting as well. Great job!

Perfection.....I like how well you captured the eye with that catch light. Nicely framed and well composed shot....and I like the off center placement of the Cedar Waxwing. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your background and lovely branch compliments your work beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

This is a splendid shot of nature. Great clarity! You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Beautiful shot. I love how you captured this masked beauty looking right at you. Lovely light. The foliage he is standing out adds to the lovely composition. Nice work!

Yes,it does look as if it is taking a beautiful wide view At its location. Your fine composition grants us an enjoyable look at your lovely bird. Sharpnes and exposure are good! Nicely done!

What a great nature shot. The focus and clarity are excellent and the birds beautiful colors are well shown against the blue sky. Looks like a beady eye on you! Well done!

It is a long time since I saw these lovely birds, but once they used to visit my garden in big flocks. You have pictured this beauty so well sitting on a tuja branch, and the blue sky is the perfect background for the bird to stand out in an excellent way.

The photo is pin sharp and it is clear and well defined details both in the bird and the branch, and the exposure is perfect.

The format and framing could not have been better, and the bird has got a perfect placement a bit off to the right. A truly lovely and well taken photo Grace, and with an excellent DOF.

Nice close up shot of this sitting bird on a branch. I like the green, black and brownish colors on this one. The clarity is perfect and composition is excellent Grace. He looks like he's looking at you out the corner of his eye lol. Nice shot thanks for sharing

A beautiful bird and a very fine shot. I like the 3/4 profile in which he seems to be giving you the eye. Nicely composed with excellent colors.
