It was an awful windy day which made a terrible day for bird photography.
But I tried anyway.

From 50 yards away,
Eastern Blubird.

It would have been nice to get closer on the Blue Birds...they are such wonderful louking birds. Keep at it! Now the Cedar Waxwing is nice and my only suggestion there would be to clone out the branches coming in from the right and take a little of the right side to move the bird more left of center.

Pretty darn good from 50 yds away. I like the cedar waxwing capture...they are so pretty.

Even though #2 is far away, I still like it because I can clearly see the birds and the type. The Waxwing is also very nice and I agree that a bit of cropping would help.

Nice set Marco. And I have yet to see a bluebird here.

Thanks for the input Gary, I appreciate it.

Thanks. I would have loved to get closer to them but it was impossibly windy and they were few and far that day.

Thanks Mitch. Both species where a first time capture.

I like #2 as well, it gives the habitat as well, it would have been nicer to get closer..........but sometimes thats imposible the birds just up and fly away. The waxwing is good too, allthough I agree with Gary a little cropping and cloning out of the branch would have made it better.

Taking everyone's advice, here is the Cedar Waxwing with the branches cloned out.
Thanks everyone.
