How cute is he? I know that blue jays can be kind of mean, but this little guy hasn't grown up enough to be a bully. The photo is very clear and crisp. I like the background blur to help the bird pop. I'm glad you were able to capture the little fellow so well.

Wonderful image! I like that real emotion in this little guy. Your capture caught him looking like.. "were is Mom?'

Terrific focus, wonderfully blurred background.

Love it!

What a curious little bird. The bird's expression is unique and the detail and crispness is impressive.

A beautiful picture of this newly fledged Blue Jay looking lost & confused as it wait for Mum to arrive with some food. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.

Comment from OLIVER23
This is such a winning and engaging shot! It is crystal clear, well framed, beautifully saturated with colors and shows such excellent handling of the green, varied shadowed background. Love the straw in the foreground! Canīt be improved upon. Excellent work!

Comment from jaguarXFR
A well taken image of this bird with pin sharp focus and giving some lovely precise detail. The tight framing works very well keeping you concentrated on the bird. Simple green background finished of the image.

A very nice shot of this little one. I prefer profiles on almost all bird shots and this is a fine one. The colors are great and the cropping is excellent.

Comment from CDFisher
Amazing! This is so perfectly captured it should be in a magazine or a photography book. The lighting used is perfect. Angle and framing as well. Gorgeous subject. This photo is impeccable. One for the wall, I would frame it. ~Carmen
