    beautiful shot! i think it would be even better if the tip of the branch in the top left-hand corner was positioned more within the frame!

    I like the position of the birds in your comp, also enjoy the 2 birds looking at you while the other seems uninterested.

    How striking they are against the sparse background - it really shows off their marking. Nice composition.

    Terrific shot of this beautiful and somewhat stern looking trio. Judging by the chestnut undertail coverts and lack of yellow on the belly I would guess that these are actually Bohemian Waxwings. A terrific image whatever they are.
