Haven't been able to do much photography other than in my backyard lately. These Western Scrub Jays are regulars to my meal worm offerings. :bg3:
Cropped and low level sharpening in PP.
C&C appreciated.

Good to see you posting.
Good comp, nice detail in eye, good head angle, prey a plus, neutral background.
Well exposed. Very sharp (right on the edge of going 'crunchy', which for me looks over sharpened)
Cheers

Looks good Kristin! You're doing well learning CS5, although I agree with Randy that a bit less sharpening would give the bird more natural looking plumage.

I recently discovered the Florida Scrub-Jay. Comparing it to your Western not defined here as Pacific or Interior, and difficult for me to distinguish with this crop, I believe you would have benefited with at least a +1/3 stop exposure bias to give the feathers at the throat and breast a truer representation of their whites. Based on how dark the feathers appear, I would consider this bird Interior with the slightly open beak adding a challenge for certain identification. Do you know what type it is? Great shot.
