    Wow, the waxwings images are exceptional. I usually do not like the steeply angled shots like number 1 but yours works with that beautiful sky and the one waxwing with the spread wings.

    I also see you are taking advantage of the Harry's busy life to squeeze in a furry rodent shot. rolleyes1.gif

    Beautiful shots of the cedar waxwing. thumb.gif However, you do have to watch out for Mr. Fixit, that blue sky in #1 has some suspiciously familiar clouds. rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gifhttp://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=140685

    That 4th shot is a real beauty, IMHO.

    Yes Ric absolutely to perfection as usual. I loved them all especially number two but please don't ask why because they are all excellent. Well done again.

    Despite the fact that these images are exceptional, with good tone and sharpness, I am somewhat disappointed.

    I was expecting cedar waxwings sitting on a Hummer, which would have been 100%.. :D

    Number 4 is my favorite, but they are all good, Ric!

    Good set Ric. I actually quite like that first shot from below clap.gif
    I'd love to contribute some squirrels, but our squirrels here in Aus (otherwise known as koalas) are pretty lazy and don't move much.

    Thanks, Stephen. :D

    Harry must be busy if this didn't get a rise out of him. Any body check lately to see if he's still breathing?!rolleyes1.gif
