Hello Karen!

Nice shot with a good composition! But it's focused on bird's belly. Imho, you should close your aperture more or focus on its head.

Nice capture.
But I feel it could be a bit sharper :-).
Good framing for presentation

Hi Karen

A good zoom shot on the bird, with excellent sharpness, dof & graphis. I like the muted colors. Well composed. Tfs!

Hi Karen, why should it be cheating, good colour and a lovely background. A few comments on sharpness but no one offered a workshop until I came along :). TFS,

Hello Karen and good to see a new one from your 'camera-obscura ' as the first one was called :-)
Right away I have to say David did a great job on the WS..but Karen .. how ofrten we all have to be quick with the camera and lucky its all there..
A remedie might be:
Put 'salt' on the tail and they freeze or use Hairspray to prevent them from flying away :-)
When in montreal I specially bought a bird feeder , how much I wanted a Blue jay or Red Cardinal..
Not a single bird landed on the blimey thing *_*
So what ever the means: you got him right

Hi Karen,
Always loved Bluejays myself! I like your shot even with the birdfeeder, the little pointy roof adds to the photo. Great work though the window too!! Don't blame you on the not going outside!! -26F here with the windchilll...brrrr!

Hello Karen,
What beautiful patterns on the Blue Jay. I had not seen this detail in an image as clearly anyway. You are correct, you cheat! But where would we be without you showing this beautiful bird, and uh, that Birdfeeder 2.

Hi Karen,

Very nice shot. I know how hard it is to get a shot, focused on the eyes, well composed, and all this before it flies away.

Good colors and strong composition. Only critique would be the sharpness, but as I said, it's not easy.

TFS,
David
