    Joel:

    Your bird is sharp and well exposed. Like the concept of the picture.
    I do find the white flowers large enough that they tend to pull the eye because of their brightness.
    I came back to the image a couple of times, and got the same impression.

    I might consider a slight crop from the top.

    Even though they are common here, I find the blue jays are pretty skittish fellows to photograph, so blind was a good choice.
