Very dramatic and very appealing. Quite a trendy slant in its presentation ; that tuft on top reminds me of hairstyles the younger men are doing these days. The profile really works and I enjoy all that fine detail in feathers and glinty eye.

Pat,
A beautiful profile portrait of this Stella Jay the light sparkling in it's eye & catching the shine on it's beak with it's crest feathers raised. As it stands out from the blurred green background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

This photograph is stunning! The bird is captured in such a way that its beauty and majesty are fully on display.The composition is very effective, creating a sense of balance and harmony while also highlighting the unique characteristics of the bird. Well Done!

Oh Pat, he's so cute and how wonderful that he comes and taps on the window!
I had a pet jackdaw when I was younger, he would come and go as he pleased and would always peck on the window when he wanted to come back into the house. Your jay reminds me of him a bit (except of course for his bad hair day! Lol). I always feels it's such an honour when a bird become tame.
Lovely photo too btw! I nearly forgot to review! :)
You've managed the blacks in his feathers very well - all-black birds are not the easiest to photograph, but you've done a grand job!

Comment from supergold


a beautiful portrait of this bird Pat apparently poising for your camera, because he knows that you'll take an excellent portrait;
great control of exposure for the black feathers;

Love this pic of your little buddy! Who says animals can't form thoughts and plans? This is wonderful. I have a fat red cardinal who loves his peanuts as well! Thank you for sharing!

Super cute picture of this lovely bird. The expression is so adorable. I love how you did your background in rich greens. Composition tones and shades are very well balanced. Nice entry!!
