    Default Blue Jay

    A recent shot of a Blue Jay. The image is a bit centered, but to maintain a decent size in the frame I have left it as is. The background is from some distant dogwoods. Construction C&C welcomed.

    Thanks for looking, :)

    A very striking portrait Mike. Superb rendition of the blues, set off against a nice soft background. Excellent sharpness. HA creates that bit of tension. I don't mind the centered image, although perhaps a bit more room on the left might give the bird more to look into. Great perch too!

    I really like this image Mike. This really shows the beautiful detail in the jays tail and wings. The crest being up adds to the image too. I might add a little canvas to the left as well. Well done!

    Beautiful view of the flight and tail feathers!! Nice perch, and awesome BG. I don't mind the comp, just wish the head was turned a wee bit more. VWD!

    Hi Mike,
    Very crisp image with lovely feather detail. The BG and bird plumage make for a very complimentary color display.
