Description With their silky feathers and gorgeous 'make up' waxwings look so perfect....
Usually I try to avoid white backgrounds, but in this case I love how it make the bird stand out, like a beautiful painting...

wow. Looking at it from this point of view seem like they are some kind of japanese actress just about to perform some intense dancing. XD so pretty. Love the intensity. You're right, the white background makes it very eye catchy.

I worked with baby waxwings this summer. You captured how smooth they look really well. What kind of lens did you use to get this?
