Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of this newly fledged Blue Jay perched on the ripening apples encrusted with liquid diamonds that along with the Jay's eye are sparkling in the light. Beautiful composition & lighting to show us it's beautiful plumage & down to best advantage, superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Oh my ghost! It is a heartbreaking picture. Very cute. Fresh, perfect in tones and composition. The background is beautiful as well and fits the bird and apples. very well done! Enjoy it.

Comment from MarnaB
Oh this is so pretty. Is that a baby blue jay? It looks a little sad. The berries are perfect and so is the muted green background.

Hey! Feelin' like I'm in cloud nine with this six rating. Thanks, Tom, you've made my day. I felt honored.

Comment from Alveria
Wow, what a nice capture with this bird perched on fruit. Handsome bird with very interesting looking and pretty feathers. Looks like he has a fur shawl wrapped around his neck. Excellent exposure with good visual impact. Well done. ~Alveria

thank you so much, my friend for this high rating and great review.

Comment from mamamary
Great initial impact. The focus on the bird, branch, and fruit is excellent. I think a bit more contrast would improve this photo. I like the blurred background but it is all to bright for me. I would like to see a bit deeper color.

Really, nobody mentioned that yet. I believed this is natural lighting, too. Thanks for the suggestions and review.
