Outstanding! I'd love to see a larger version. I love the "missing" berries in the bunch. I wonder if you might brighten the eye a little more?

Splendid Waxwing shot and one i'd love to have in my files!
Might try to get a bit more detail out of those darker parts but that's nitpicking a great image.

Well done!

greetings,

Hi Paul nice capture. Simple and good. I would prefer a bit more space on the left (not fond of a square crop).
