Blue Jay on Feeder

[KurtPreston]

Normally hate feeder shots, but loved the light here. Not sure how the crop comes off, I think I can get tighter if needed.

Exposure looks very good Kurt and sharp on your jay. Normally not a fan of feeder shots either but you can't always have ideal conditions. Might tone down the bright spots in the BG just a bit.

Kurt, I think you handled the exposure well and the details are good, might lighten the eye.

[Malcolm Benn]

You're right the light was great and the crop and the exposure are both spot on for me.

Well done Kurt,
The crop works well here...good exposure and color rendition...good show...:cool:

Hi Kurt - works for me as presented - BG doesn't bother me - well done.

[Harold Davis]

i like the light on this one too, kurt! nice job. you did a nice job of minimizing the feeder with the crop.

Kurt:
Like everything about the image, I'm one that would probably go tighter with the crop.

Could go either way but tighter might be stronger !!! Excellent tones and feel !!!
