Cedar Waxwing

Brag Description:

I am finding that bird photography is very difficult. I took about 40 photos today, and this is the only one that is in focus. I may buy a fine focuser soon. This is a Cedar Waxwing.

Cliff: Very nice. Enhanced by simplicity, composition and sidelighting. I sense from this & your other 2 bird photos that you are into computer image processing. They download fast on my phone line (re-sized?), composition right on (usually not so on my original exposures)and the sky looks pasted-in (a natural sky lightens at bottom toward horizon). Pasting a blue sky has its merits but tends to blur edges of subject and I think does away with any perception of depth which is a fault of digital photography to start with. All this is intended to promote dialogue, not to be critical of your good work that I know from experience takes time and skill. What camera etc are you using?
