Stellar Jay

[dankearl]

And a banged up one at that...

D610, 600mm (300 f2.8 w/ 2x) f6.3, 1/320, iso1600
Generally pretty skittish Robbers and clowns, this one landed right next
to while laying down taking Duck photos... Hard to turn lens and shoot, very close...

Such cool looking birds. The low angle is nice and like the pose on the bird. More room below would be nice.

cool look back pose and nice soft light + good details. Agree too tight in the bottom.

Very nice Dan!
Lovely pose, good IQ, great POV. The blues look great.
I would evict the white blob along the lower edge and would love a bit more room all around,

There is something about this species' blues, and you brought those out very nicely. I agree the jay is placed rather low in the frame. I'd love a touch more room in front of it as well. I love the BG, and the head angle is good too.
