What technical feedback would you like if any?
What artistic feedback would you like if any? Not really an artsy shot, sacrificed art for natural history. I recropped the file in Lightroom and found found another crop worthy image too. Thank for the crop suggestions.
Pertinent technical details or techniques: D500 600mm f4 (1/1600 sec at f6.3, Iso 450) Cropped 50%, Levels, Shadows & Highlights, Brightness & Contrast, Topaz DeNoise AI. Fairly crisp for the crop and It was worth going after this shot. The cedar waxwing is subduing a rather ornery yellow jacket wasp. The entire flock found a nest opening and they were feasting. It was neat to discover that these birds will feed on yellow jackets…Jim

This is a very cool image Jim. I think you have excellent color, detail, and behavior. While I am aware that some birds eat stinging insects, I could not tell you which ones do and which ones are adversely affected. I like the environmental aspect of this image but also think you could crop it a lot closer so one can see the detail in the bee. Just a thought.

Wonderful catch!! How can they eat wasps without getting stung? Detail and colors look superb and I think David has a good point about a closer crop.

Great action shot and the detail in both bird and wasp looks good. I would see how this works with a closer crop to bring the viewers attention to the action.

That is pretty neat and a really good catch. Excellent detail in wasp and no doubt about what is going on. It would be nice for a tighter crop to really show off the action.
