Blue Jay.

I left the blue color in the background as it fits the bird.
The snow is blue in the shaded area, anyway.
However, I brightened up the background to fit the bright snowy foreground better.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

Karl just been looking at a smashing shot of a Pine Martin of yours in the snow. Think this one fits very well against the blue sky showing off the nice bright light that you had, beautiful crisp clear and detailed image .

What a beauty, Karl. I love seeing a common bird portrayed in such a lovely manner. That snow just lights it up, and I love how the blue sky complements the jay.

A cracker Karl. The colours on the bird blend real well with the snow and BG. Lovely details

Excellent image Karl! I like the pose, details, sharpness, snow perch and complimentary colors. I would add a little bit of canvas in front off the bird but that's personal preference.

This is really beautiful Karl, just outstanding.....

What a super shot wonderful colours and details, he couldn't have perched on a better piece of snow could he- spot on!
