hello Gert

superb photo with a very good timing to shoot the camera
when the bird is whistle-ing (or launching a cry),
excellent sharpness and details, lovely background that
puts in evidence the bird, excellent density of the colours,
i love the POV of your image, excellent framing,
and i love that the bird is banded, TFS

Hi Gert.
What a great moment has been captured. I like precise timing a lot. Amazing details and sharpness of the trunk, bird and snow. Superb BG and so impressive POV. Framing and composition are the best as usual. Is this bird ringed? I see the ring on the left legs. Bravo. Excellent work.

Superb shot Gert!
Very sharp with great detail and clarity.
Excellent composition.
DOF is slightly too shallow but that's hardly a problem :)
Even exposure and superb lighting.
Very good BG as well.
Thanks for sharing this!

Hello Gert,
I do not know what else to say but perfection in your work is well proposed before us as the detail, lighting, and depth are unmasked.
Have a great weekend...

Hello MF.
You show us this rare bird, and he is a beautiful fellow. You have composed the bird with great details, and I love his colours - and the snow on his beak.
Thank you Gert,
Janice

We're have a wonderful hot sunny summertime right now - the best in 16 years and the gardens and farmers are crying out for rain.

Hej Gert,
These birds seem so charming and I love their colours against the snow. A species I'd love to see! This is very well captured - I think he's just gobbled up his sausage! I expect the few you have in Gästrikland are all ringed? Great sharpness and lovely colours in this fine composition.
TFS and cheers, Ulla

Hi Gert,
This is an unusual bird indeed that I have not seen often. Its tones of colors are impressive and beautiful. This is a nice pose captured in excellent exposure. I think that it head might have moved a lot as I think it could be clearer but I realize that you used quite a slow shutter speed which might explain this little blur. TFS,
Claudine

Hello Gert,

Great picture of this rare bird! Great timing to have it singing like this... Interesting to realize that several jay species seems to be quite unafraid of humans...

Great bg, natural colors and I like also your composition with that branch doing a diagonal and the bird quite horizontal...

Good shot and TFS!

Hello Gert,
Nice rare bird, he seems greedy ;-) I notice that he has a metallic ring...
The "+++" : composition, nice subject, POV, sharpness, DOF, blurred BG, exposure, useful complementary note...
The "-" : nothing as usual...
Bravo my friend and thanks for sharing,
Christian

Gert, besides being a perfect capture, this picture has a humorous aspect to it. The greedy fellow has its mouth a bit too full!
It is a great pleasure to see the pictures of such rare birds on TN.
Thanks for sharing and best regards.

Hi Gert,
This is too dark & too sharp ;}}
Seriously though, It's an excellent image of this beautiful & rare bird..Albeit a captive one..
At least it's well fed, and we can appreciate the beauty of it :)
Very well done & have a Great Weekend mf.

Hi Gert,
I've never seen a picture of this bird on TN, (but you tell us there were some earlier). Great picture, great story that goes withit and what a rare sight in Southern Sweden. Thank you for sharing your sausage-steal adventure with us.
Best regards
