    Default One of Kind Snowflake/Blue Jay Calling

    This Blue Jay was not in any hurry to move on, but did let me know with his "Jay, Jay" call that he wasn't happy that I was watching him. Look at the lovely single little snowflake that had just landed on his blue crest. Not sure why my flash was off as I had just attached my new Better Beamer. C&C welcome.

    The snowflake and open bill are great. The bird looks a bit soft on my monitor. It might work as vertical crop, too.

    Very nice pose and action in this one Laurie and I like the touches of snow captured here. I agree it looks a tad soft. I too think a vertical crop would also work well . Many thanks for sharing.

    The snow flake is a great touch but have to agree with it being soft. I sharpen it in PS if you want I can post it so you can see the difference.

    That would be great. Thanks!!!

    I've only had Photoshop CS3 for a short time so I welcome the opportunity to see what is possible and hope to one day be able to optimize my photos more proficiently.
