Hi Michel,

I just love these birds and this is a lovely capture. Wish I could see one in real life. Nice pose - good colors - good details. Looks wonderful amongst the green leaves and with the black background.

Hi Michel, this is an excellent sharp shot of this Cedar Waxwing. The composition with him sitting on those leaves works very well. Excellent colour and detail.

Thanks, John

Hi Michel. I like the way this beatiful bird poses to you Michel. Nice colors and BG. They come to my country only in early spring and most of the times they are together a lot of them but I never had problems to take a photos of them. Luis52.

Hi Michel. Interesting to hear of your backlight problems as this is an issue for me also in the mornings when the birds are about. This photo is excellent and beautiful colours and clarity. It is as good as it gets in my opinion. TFS. Murray.
