I love that blue pattern he has... I imagine it would look really attractive in flight too.
This is a wonderful capture of this beautiful bird Gert. The colours, details, and POV are really good. I like the mouthful of food too. TFS

Hi Gert

Great POV and sharp focus. The eye contact is wonderful - plus the food in its mouth. Good isolation from the BG.

hi Gert
splendide image d'une clareté de grande qualité. J'aime les couleurs denses et la lumière diffuse, dommage que la vitesse n'ait pas permis de figer le mouvement du bec.

Hi Gert

Congratulations on another beautiful species added to your list of photographed animals! The new hide seems to be working very well :)
This is a splendid shot, showing this lovely bird with impressive sharp details and charming and vivid natural colors.
The exposure is spot-on and the DOF is impeccable, isolating the subject very well from the BG.
Even though you used a tripod, the sharpness is inpressive for a 1/50 at such a long focal length.
Wonderful work!

Bravo and TFS

Hej Gert,
Wonderful close-up of the Jay in a lovely pose! It's easier to hear these birds than to see them so your hide has really paid off! I love the POV and details are very sharp and the colours beautiful. The soft background colours fit very well too.
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hi Gert,
A superb shot on this Eurasian Jay. Soft shadowless light and a spot on exposure. The colors and detail shown in the plumage are amazing. The long focal length did a great job isolating and blurring the backround perfectly. Great camera work as usual.
Take Care my friend,
Scott

Hi Gert,
perfectly clear portrait with brilliant colours - I can see and hear that pretty jay so often in the woods next to my home, but I never succeed in getting anynwhere near enough for a close look. Very well approached. looking forward to all the other close encounters from your new hide. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Hello Gert,
This portrait of the European Jay is so perfect,
I felt like I could just reach out and touch it.
The details are so incredibly crisp.
Great eye contact and added bonus of the beak full of seeds.
Excellent exposure that brings out the beautiful colors.

Hi Gert.
Your jay is reproduces with great exactness and love. Amazing details, sharpness and colours. Entire scene is fine too. Unusually coloured smooth BG and perfectly detailed tree branch. POV is superb. It seems that you stood next to it. Bravo. Perfect job.

Hi Gert,

I apologise for my long absence. The hectic pace of life leaves one little time for relaxation and hobbies.

This is such a beautiful bird. I have never seen it before. Technically the photo is also very good. You did so well with the light because the colours look well saturated.

Well done.
