Apart from the shape this is nothing like the waxwing, I made a couple of mistakes - not knowing the conditions of the site and the distance the waxwing might be I never took the tele convertor just the 300 prime and the birds were sat high up on a tree, I was not close enough and could never have been, the weather was rubbish BUT I did shoot in Raw so I tried playing with the picture and this is what I came out with, some will hate it and some will like it and I thought at least it pretty if not dreadful. Yesterday I went back to the same place no one to be seen and not a waxwing prepared to settle I cant visit today but weather permitting might try again tomorrow. Thank you ALL for your c/c's on the last of the colour but NO birds and I might have to find another landscape picture - be warned 
V2 is what another year found for me with the waxwing - taken in 2008 and that was not brilliant either but at least you can see its a Waxwing V4 was saved using Camera Raw in CS5 and is otherwise the same as V1

Yes! I agree with CarolG - a Chinese painting! I like it very much and could see this hanging on my wall! Love the other two shots as well, especially V2.
Carol
I do like what you've done, it has hints of oriental art. Very graceful and cool.

Quote: Great effort Ann. I do know that conditions were not good that day. Its easy to get caught out. V2 is pretty much on the mark.
Ron
Agree with Ron.. V2 for me - I just wish i could see one.
Well done Ann really pleased you got them beautiful set of images well done.
Keith.
V2 definately for me Ann, and would feel it would look so much better with just a very small white border against a black bg.
As I found out yesterday they are so difficult to get in the clear as they go mad for the berries.
I am going to drive around a few known areas today to see if I can find more, if I do I will let you know where they are then all we need is some half decent weather
Richard
To even get one in the viewfinder is a credit to you Ann, V2 for me,
Geoff.
I rather like V1 As CarolG says, it's rather like a Chinese painting. Well done, Ann, for trying something different! Of the others in the set, V2 for me also.
TrevB
Zen art, Ann, one more of your many talents in v.1, which is great.
For v.2, I'd be well chuffed to have taken it, let alone bin it! I do hope Waxwings come south west. I've never seen one yet. Very well done.
Dave.
V1 is really great
Love it
The other piccies all very good as well
Love V1, a strong oriental influence, as has been mentioned, excellent manipulation Ann.
David
They are not know here - they're beautiful! Could it be that they are related to the jay family? A very nice species. Thanks for showing.
