Good DOF lovely detail in the dark and lightplumage and a nice pose /perch. I wondered why you had reservations over ISO 2500??
I know you are particular about accurate colour balance Gail so I am slightly hesitant to suggest that perhaps there is a little too much yellow in the image?? Maybe it's me just not used to sunshine - not seen any for a while

Super job here Gail, lovely pose, HA, and colors are accurate IMHO! I love these jays and you have captured the FFD and controlled the black very well. Oh yeah remember it was 104 degrees too! Love the clean BG

Very nice. Almost a bit too big in the frame. Face could he opened up just a bit. Just curious: was the perch part of a natural growing tree or was it cut and erected?

I like your original post better. In the repost the greens are becoming washed out on the bird and leaves. I am not familiar with the plant or bird so not sure how green the leaves should be or the green of the jay. The bird is quite striking and beautiful, lovely image. Thank you for sharing, Gail.

Stunning portrait! Isaacs looks spot on. I love the perch, the green complimenting both the birds and the BG. The pose and the feather details are all very nice. I like that the tail is a bit OOF.

Like the repost white balance. My only quibble is the head doesn't appear to be quite as sharp as the body.
