Green Jay

Taken at the Leguna Seca Ranch in Texas during the NANPA Summit. I could have used a bit more DOF to get the whole tail in focus.

Looks familiar. You are right about the DOF, but these guys are pretty long. I would like to see a little more definition in the dark areas of the head, I can't see much feather definition on my monitor. Know how hard these guys are to shoot.

nice pose and BG, details seem very soft however.

thanks for your comments. resizing the image for BPN resulted in a file so small that the detail is not apparent but my original file is very sharp.

hopefully the details will be more evident in this version
