You have chosen beautiful photo for the dedication. Main object is prominent, sharpness is very good. I also like the OOF homogenous background.
Big smile is not becouse of the points but becouse I like the shot ;-)

Hi Gert,

A wonderful dedication to two of the nicest people on TN. They will love it. This Siberian Jay - a bird I have never seen - is beautiful. Same story with all your shots - perfect colors, perfect details, perfect pose, perfect background, perfect composition.

Fantastic image Gert!
I'd never heard of these birds before TN!
And a very nice dedication to Ulla and Ivan!
Razor-sharp with incredible detail and superb clarity.
Very good composition and POV.
Perfect lighting.
The snow is a great addition.
Stunningly well done my friend.

Hej Gert,
Wow, you couldn't give us a better dedication - I love this bird and this is a wonderful view of it! As usual your captures are technically brilliant and well composed too. I like the light reflecting from the snow and the fine background. I'm glad you were lucky to find it. I wonder what lunch you had to offer him?? Delightful capture!
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hi Gert,

I like this bird a lot. It's a pity you sharpened it too much. The colors and contrast are a bit overdone. I like it more the natural way. The POV and pose are very good.

regards,
Zeno.

Hi Gret.
Touching dedication and amazing gift to our friends. Once more brilliant reproduction of the charming birdy and very impressive surroundings. Sharpness and details are ultimate and exposure of the contrast objects is precise. I like superb BG and colouration of the image. Bravo and many thanks.

Hej Gert,
Many thanks for this marvellous dedication: we are both honoured and delighted that you should post a Siberian Jay, Lavskrika as the dedicated image. It is a superb capture, in my view not oversharpened and other technical as well as esthetic aspects are superb.
If I am lucky enough to take a picture of it this summer when my son and I travel to Southern Lapland I would be very pleased if I got a shot half as good as this!
Thanks again,
Hälsningar,
Ivan

Hoppas vi kan träffas någon gång i år. Jag tänker på Fjärilsvägen för att plåta kattunvisslaren i juli, kanske när vi är tillbaka från vår fjällresa. Inget är bestämt än. Vi hörs!
Mvh, Ivan

Hi Gert, this is a perfect picture, the beauty of it is breathtaking! I really love the beautiful colours, this grey is magnificent, all the details on the branch, with the lichens, all the details in the plumage, and even a glimpse from the bird to the lens. Thank you very much and your dedication is truly touching.

Very beautiful shot Gert. The detail on this bird is incredible with very excellent colour. Your crop is very good positioning him perfectly in the frame. Depth of field is very good, providing a very pleasant bokeh behind the bird. I am going to have to find me some Falun Sausages. Enjoyed!

Thanks, John

Hello Gert, this is a fine post of this beautiful Siberian Jay, its the first time I have seen one. The composition is perfect with the Jay perched on the snow laden branch. Great light and colours with a perfect dof and soft background, wonderful detail and focus.
