A wonderful perspective, great colors. Very sharp details. Excellent shot.
SkyF

Beautiful colours and detail. Background work really well and I like the POV and pose. I would be temted to rotate the shot diagonally with the bird sitting slightly more upright. But that's me.

These sleek, elegant little waxwings are one of my favorite birds, although we don't have the Bohemians where I live, only the Cedars. Bohemians are much more colorful. This is one of the best photos of a waxwing that I have ever seen. I love it! Great exposure, great pose, and I love that fluffy little butt.

Hi Aivar,
a beautiful picture of "sidensvans" free transl. "Silk tail"
Well composed, good POV and lovely colours.
The details are also very good.
Very well done.
Jannie; this is a very acrobatic bird and it is very often hanging upside down when it feed.

Hi Aivar,
phantastic - I wish to see such a beautiful bird any time. It must be very amazing.
Your POV is so wonderful against this blue sky, I love it, thanks

Another excellent shot of this bird - excellent exposure, and every detail sharp and clear.

I can almost feel how soft his plummage is. Beautiful detail- great colors- and exposure (as he was in full sun and you took from beneath. Thank you. Nichole

Hello Aivar,
Interesting point of view, and the little guy gives you a funny pose!
Excellent colours & details, nothing works like the sky as backdrop!
