    Look forward to comments.

    Andrew:

    That is one beautiful specimen of a blue jay. My back yard jays tend to be a bit more slaty blue.
    Nice that the crest is up, love the perch, and the subtle background.
    I might very slightly tone down the lighter leaf above and in front of his face, but the overall effect reminds me of an old, faded tapestry!

    Cheers

    Randy

    The colors on this birdie are beautiful!! :) Lovely setting you got there. I would go with the above suggestion of toning down the above yellowish leaf.

    Awesome that you can get him in the open! Kinda shy over in this neck of the woods. Nice background and a beautiful bird.
