This was taken a couple of months ago in my backyard. These birds will eat everything but I found a feeder that has finally slowed them down. I put this rock in the grass and spread some sunflower seeds in front. They were happy to get an easy meal. Within minutes I had ten of them around the rock. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Good work, as this came out great Jim.
Great exposure for the blacks, you have really brought out the colors on the head. Well done Jim.

Excellent image. I like the fluffed feathers,nice details in blacks and blues.Very nice background and perch.
Love the eye. Would crop silver line at the bottom.

I think the ruffled feathers really makes the difference between good and excellent here. This is excellent. I like the colors you achieved on the bird as well, as I feel they are a striking species when captured well. Your style comes through very clearly in this image as well. Nicely done.
Beautiful shot. Clean background, very sharp and I like the perch. Good detail in the black feathers.

Looks great Jim. Good exposure on the blacks and I like the relaxed feathers and pose. Cool yellow eyes on this species. Well done
Hi Jim, excellent exposure on this dark species, and I really like the blue mixed in around the head. Sweet BG, and I would maybe take a touch off the bottom.
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.
Excellent pose, exp, details & BG.
