How fortunate you were to capture this conversation between parent and child! They are beautiful! I'm assuming some type of jay. Excellent depth of field setting off your subjects. Natural looking color tones. Sharp image and pleasing composition. As always, great photograph!

Love the beautiful blues, the background, and the two blue jays. Wonderful title and so appropriate. However, did you mean "You're" or "Your"? Either way, it is adorable, simple adorable. Love the mood here.

    Thank you so much Glena, it?s actually supposed to be you?re, however there is an issue whenever I try to use punctuation, it will always show it as a question mark, so I just put your to avoid that .

    Welcome. Nice work. You use a computer or typewriter? It doesn't matter. Your art speaks for itself.

A wonderful capture of a juvenile and adult Stella Jay interacting together. (to us humans quite comically). The blue colour is quite outstanding on the feathers and the clarity of both is fantastic. An amazing interplay caught on camera! Thanks for sharing Pat.

Very lovely color on the birds and impressive shot to capture! I love the attitude of the bird on the left and the sternness of the right:) Great job and amazing photo!

This is an awesome nature capture! Your focus is so clear and there is beautiful definition showing off these pretty birds. Their posturing is amazing and your shot shows us a wonderful view of nature. The colors are natural and pleasing and the lower light makes the blue of their wings pop nicely. A pretty background as well makes this and outstanding photo!

It looks as if the parent is indeed annoyed with her/his young, who is yelling for more food. The youngster is just behaving like human kids. Your photo is perfect focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and the realism of color and light. The shallow background is unobtrusive and emphasizes the birds nicely. The birds are excellent placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Great moment to capture of these two BlueJay with spectacular odors and details.
So nicely placed within the frame and great background.
They must love you Pat for feeding them both.
Thank you for sharing!

Quiet unique i think this is pat,to capture one bird would have been enough,to get two and then to tell a story behind the birds is really special,well good observation photo...Brian

kinda like some of the kids today..wanna stay home and let the parents take of them as adults..my ole man told me i better have a job and place to live when i turned 18..so i joined the army..yep i at least had that part covered...lol..this is a cute capture. the angle of the shot of this baby bird giving mama the "im hungry!" jest is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.
