Wow!
It look like this bird posed for you. It look like you was standing right in front of him but I know you didn't because you're camera is the bomb.
You got awesome timing and perfect focus and awesome color!
Awesome job!
Oh you're welcome. Sorry I could not call back my cellphone been getting crappy service. Just found out that I am not under a contract with sprint so therefore I will be shopping around for a new service! I am so happy you loved your gift. Like I said before you are so hard to shop for!
Great job on the picture!

Than you so very much for the high score! Try AT&T! We have had good service with them.
Thanks again for the movie and card!

Np daddy!
AT&T hmmmmmm I can't because my mom got a bill in my name when it was SBC.
but I am looking around to get month to month from another phone service. I want to be able to keep my same number if I do find a new service... I want to be able to tell sprint to kiss my butt so badly! but till then I gotta be smart about this!

Oh look, another portrait. I am guessing the birds were glued in place. Either that or this is a great photo. Nice work

The close up of the bird is excellent. This photo looks very professional. The detail in the bird is exceptional and I like the colors in the blurred background. Wonderful work.

Wow Beautiful photo. Very crisp and clear image. Love the detail in his feathers. He seems to have a thoughtful expression on his face that adds an emotional element. Well done!

Comment from Montana Shooter
Wow! What a super closeup of the jay. You can count every feather on his head it is so sharp!

A very nice capture, indeed. I love that you can see the reflection of the trees and sun in his eye.

Very nicely done!

Awesome picture. Love the expression on his face. Nice composition. Great focus, color, and lighting. I like the blurred BG as it really makes the bird stand out. Well done!

You, my friend, are an out standing photographer. I never got a shot this close. Wonderful backlighting, excellent contrast, wonderful natural color. You did well with correcting the contast. Great job.

WOW! This close up is amazing.
The absolute fine details of the subject could not be any better. The colors, the eye and beak all stand out so distinct! The slight yellow and green in the background really bring out the whole scene. Great shot! Good luck in the contest. Royal

Comment from RiffyRif
Beautiful! Crisp, clear and detailed. Perhaps a little more detail could have been captured on the beak and back of the neck by changing the aperture just a bit. It is a wonderful shot though!
