Beautifully done! Your photo is well focused and I love the background.

I saw one of these little guys up north last year and at first thought it looked like a giant chickadee :)

Thanks for sharing!

good framing with sharp details;

What a cute and interesting little bird. Thanks for sharing that unusual fact. Nice clear sharp photo. You should sell your work to a birding magazine or make a book of birds.

Thank you very much Barbara! These birds came right into our camp , I had peanuts and sunflowers seeds for them.

He is a very cute little fellow. Beautiful focus and clarity, showing his feathers so well and his little beady eye. I also enjoyed the narrative, very informative.

What a cute bird!
Love this close up.
Great detailing in the feathers visible. Great capture with un-obstuctive background to keep him front and center!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that lovely jay before you. Like its eye and feather detail. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!

A beautiful bird in such a wonderful position - excellent close up - perfect second, so we can see the bird face in very details - A very calm picture as the time is early and all is calm in nature
great sharpness and natural contrast - super close up with a great frame choice. I love birds and this one is beautiful, thanks for sharing

A gorgeous bird that is shown in exquisite detail. I like the subtle tones and the way he stands out from the background. A fine composition with a great glistening eye.
