Beautiful - "Lazzaro's Log" strikes again! Soft lighting, smooth background, pin sharp and nicely posed. Quite a slow shutter speed, so lucky he was standing very still for a moment ;)
Thanks, Nigel.

Hi Greg,

Excellent shot and well composed. Excellent work.

The American Blue Jay is Blue ALL over, or is it that white balance again.
The details are fantastic etc.
Anyway, double check, in a friendly way. You could compare colors if you wish with my posting.

He is handsome!
Excellent job shooting him;-)
That log really works well. I meant to look for one today, but didn't get a-round-tu-it.
Maybe tomorrow.
I've added a couple of new feeders. The birds really love those black sunflower seeds.
Thanks for the excellent post,
Dave
ps always appreciate your tips, techniques and suggestions.

Hi Gregory,
wonderful colours and good composition. Everything is sharp and clean - maybe overly so, this is so perfect it gets into danger of looking almost a bit sterile. Naturally I am nitpicking again and now I find myself complaining it is too perfect ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Interesting thing, I've never seen such a blue bird before, it looks almost artificial. Brilliant shot, but I feel it is cropped too close to the tail. A bit more space on the bottom would also do.
