Hi Aivar,
I'm impressed and also a little jelous - you saw this beautiful bird and you catched it with such good sharpness and sunny colours, I love it. I never saw one with my own eyes, I think they don't stop here - flying straight from the north to the south, and here isn't the good place to make a break ;-(
So thanks for your fantastic shot, bye

Hello Mikko,

The sharpnes and the color are very good, maybe the bird is too centered. TFS.

Hello Aivar,
An impressive shot. I like very much this twisted pose and POV as well as the uniform sky background and intensive colours.
Also your picture shows the waxwing while eating its favourite fruits - a nice documentation of feeding behaviour...
Best greetings and TFS!
Michal

Hi Aivar,
Absolutely beautifull picture of this waxwing especially on the solid blue background and with such clarity, its as though it is really in front of me. :)

Enfoque y nitidez extraordinarios. Una gran fotografía. Ese EF 300 mm canon va de maravilla jeje.
Saludos

Hi Aivar,

Wow, what a beauty you have captured. An very impressive shot. I like this twisted pose and POV and DOF. Marvelous. The uniform sky background and intensive colours are also perfect. I have nothing to say anymore than "Well done". Regards and TFS Bob
