Very lovely blueish tones on this bluejay. Great DOF, sharpness, lighting, and off-centered composition.
Well done Karen!
Happy new year.

Happy New Year Karen,
This is a fitting image for the New Year! The Blue Jay is also my favorite bird, as is the Stellar Jay. Excellent framing and a good catch through your window.
Best to you and your family for the next year...

Hello Karen,
Did you notice the look that he gives you?
You most likely forgot to fill the feeder...
...
And I wish that a HAPPY NEW YEAR will come your way!
Seasonal greetings from a chilly Norway,

Nice contrast and sharpness for shooting through window glass. Very good composition and even a nice catchlight in the eye.

Happy New Year Karen!

They disappeared from our bird feeeders these flying smurfs (^_^). Great catch specially it is watching you , us. I might only suggest ( to be honest ) , I would have taken the red from the shot ( desaturate the red from the shot except from your subject). The remaining red dots are a bit distracting . Just my humble opinion.

I wish you a great year of photo hunting and sharing in 2008 !
Cheers!

Hi Karen,
Nice shot of the Jay...they can be tough to shoot as they spook easily. Nice pose and not bad for detail. Your PS work along with the nice OOF'ed background certainly allows all the attention to be on the Jay. Nice shooting Karen.

Thanks for the comments on my photo
