Hi Sergey

Superb shot, I don't agree that it is not as beautiful as the blue Jay because in your shot its looks very nice indeed, really nicely composed shot with a great POV and a lovely pose, the colours are just wonderful with very nice details too.

Great shot with nice details.
Good deferentiation between the busy background and the subject.
I like this picture of a common bird. Lovely looking blue eyes!!!

Hej Sergey!
Bardzo ladna sojka! Ostrosc, kolory, kontrast i szczegoly bardzo dobre. Wiem,ze to plochliwy ptak. Czesto go widuje, ale nie udalo mi sie jej podejsc blizej.
Gratuluje i pozdrawiam - Roma

Hello Sergey,
Wonderful capture of this beautiful bird showing sharp details and beautiful colours. They are not easy to get near and you've caught this one in a very nice pose where he is not sheltered by lots of twigs. Well done!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Sergey,

Hello Sergey,
It is s an ice bird, very different from ours but as you said, still beautiful. This capture is superb with excellent details, POV, exposure and composition. It should be amazing to see it in a plain blue sky too. Thanks,
Claudine

also common, those are difficult to approach. very sharp pic with brilliant colors. Also the blue of the eye is nice.
Good composition.

Hej Sergey!

I would say this is a pretty nice jay. It is also known as "Flemish Jay"
as opposed to Blue Jay, Gray Jay etc.

In Flemish it is "Vlaamse Gaai".. French: geai flamand. So jay is also "gaai" or "geai" ... eh! Jay

PS I disagree on the "Not so beautiful as a Blue Jay,..." BOTH birds are spectacular...! ;) Not?

Hi Sergey,
Great portfolio you have. This is a very good shot to. Never been able to come so close to this jay.
I like the colours of the feathers very much.
You have captured him very very well. Great job.
