Like the angle, loaded with detail, nice blue backdrop. Berries should keep them a little longer yet.These white berries do seem to atract them well. :toast:

I especially like this dynamic pose and it's a great POV Ian.
Well composed frame, fine details. Like those white berries too, not that common..
I've yet to get a shot of the Waxwing with berry in beak. I'm used to seeing large flocks migrating through here in Central Texas, but it has been awhile.
Very nice :toast:
