as the snowstorm dissipated, the sunlight filtered through the overcast sky and briefly the BG was rosie. This bluejay squawked and most of the birds scattered just as i settled in to photograph in this beautiful light. After a tense minute of inactivity, the bluejay flew in closer to choose which feeder to visit. My presence was the last hurdle before getting to any seed so I had several seconds of him posing as he decided if it was safe. I liked the eye contact here, before he swooped in for some fresh suet.
So I chose to leave the color as i saw it that afternoon and not "balance the colors" ... This is nearly full frame and i chose to leave the snow covered beak as is. I like the white tufted feathers atop the eyebrow and the fine black whiskers around his face.
