Comment from Linda Engel


Steller Jays are so pretty. How lucky you are to have them eat out of your hand.
I love how you captured him in the snow with a hand full of peanuts. Your colors are sharp and show all the details in the feathers. the blue background compliments the pretty blue bird. Excellent focus and lighting. Great cropping and well framed. This is awesome, Pat.

They obviously know a good thing when they see one! That looks like a big breakfast out there in your fine, central composition. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

What a pretty bird. I love his soft colors. It's almost like he is trying to figure out if it's okay to eat them. The bird is positioned well in the shot, focus is great, and lighting is excellent. Enjoyed viewin it.

Pat,
A beautiful picture of this beautiful Stella Jay eyeing the whole Peanuts in their shells laid out on a snow covered ledge the sunlight glowing in it's iridescent turquoise plumage & catching the sparkle in it's eye. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Beautiful shot of the Bluebirds looking over these peanuts. Superb eye clarity! Beautiful natural lighting, sharp focus and good details and clarity in your image. I love your winter background of blues and whites soft and diffused compliment your photography. I like your play with light and shadows. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

The colors on this bird are so pretty! The sun lights him up nicely with the greens and blue like a peacock. Nice stop action, colors, focus and nice supply of peanuts for this Steller bird.
