Wow, beautiful composition sharp as a tack and the bokeh is perfect. The detail in the feathers and eye off the chart good. Thanks for posting the settings!

Paul, you always take amazing photos. I work in Meredith and round this time of year start looking for the Cedar Waxwings on the berry-producing trees in front of Camp Restaurant. When I see one, I always remember your photography.

Thank you all for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the image.

That is a great idea! Does Cafe Press do books? Could be a great fundraiser for Winni.com

Wonder how many folks on here would contribute pictures and how many would want to buy it?

About three days ago in Waterville Valley, there was one single bird that looked very much like the bird in the photo eating berries out of a large bush, about six feet up, and it pretty much totally ignored me when I walked within about ten feet of it while still on the sidewalk. It was cold out too, maybe ten degrees at the time at about 11-am.

It looked like an exotic birdie that had a decorative, all made up face .....seemed a little unusual to see it out in the intense cold there..... all relaxed and eating the red berries off the big ornamental shrub tree.

Hey...How come your Cedarwaxwing looks better than mine?

You are an absolutely fabulous photographer! Do you sell any of your photo's?

Thank you and yes I do. I sent you a private message. Also, I do have one piece currently on display at the VynnArt gallery 30 Main St, Meredith. If you want to stop by there to look at it, you will get to see how my work looks framed up. I do all my own printing using pigment based ink and all prints are 13 x 19" in an 18 x 24 inch frame. This is the image that is on display at VynnArt.

I call this one, Yoga Gull
