Nice shot! Love the clarity of detail and seeing the birds feeding. Just wondering if in post you can make that bird stand out a bit from the background.

Spectacular image. Now if that bird in lower left would have turned a bit more toward the center one.

They are such fun and social birds and this is a nice moment with plenty of action. The color seem cartoonish to me on my monitor. Quite saturated and not subtle at all and I know it probably was given the light. Otherwise, the chaos and activity is really nice to see. Great looking mulberries, too. I think they’re mulberries…??

I like the moment you caught and the pose of the main waxwing. The berries and foliage adds a lot, but I would agree with Kristen that the image appears over-saturated.

Hi Larry
I love it. (to many years in broadcasting). I agree the shot is over saturated, but that what sell it. This is a cover shot for any travel ad, come see us, we’re waiting for you.
