Shot with 7D and 100-400mm vertically. Very minor post only to tone down the whites on top of the head and most of all removed 5 color bads on its legs.

Nice work in post, and good composition. I wouldn't mind a head angle slightly more toward the viewer and perhaps a bit more bokeh to separate the bird from a similar background, but overall I enjoy the high IQ of this great bird!
Very nice shot of the jay, ideally the head would be turned a little more toward the camera. I would consider blending the background a little to make it less obtrusive.
Here's another Robert Bateman! I love the BG -- instructive of the setting but complements instead of competing with the bird.
If it were me, I'd remove the one small branch that just touches the tip of the beak. Everything else is icing on the cake, to me.
Thank you guys. This is how you typically see these guys and not with a perfect backgrounds hehe.
^^^ thats not "real" is it?
