2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Cedar Waxwing, Setauket, NY, USA, United States of America
A Chance Fantasy

Species: Cedar Waxwing | Location: Setauket, NY, USA, United States of America

While photographing Cedar Waxwings at a local pond. This fellow decided to take flight just as I depressed the shutter release. The resulting unaltered photo was a total surprise. The swirls in the unfocused foliage in fore and back ground seem to blend with the fluttering wings.

About The Photographer

Photography has been a serious hobby of mine for the past fifty years. Switched to digital around 2006 and have never looked back. Areas of interest include landscape, wildlife, and more recently astrophotography. Will photograph anything that catches my eye.
