Another of the images of Florida Scrub Jays I captured last Friday. The branch/tree that the Jay is perched on is the Scrub Oak. A knurly low growing tree, 6-8 feet high, that makes up the habitat that the Scrub Jay prefers and needs. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Nice light and HA.
Do you have a bit more room up top? Feels a bit cramped up there for my eye.
I would also get rid of the little stem on the bottom of the frame.
Bird look good.

Another nice capture, Joe. Like the feather detail, head turn, and the intense look on his face. The only thing I might do is tone down the branches of the Scrub Oak.
