Amazing detail and color in this photo! It's almost like I was right there watching him grab the peanut. A really outstanding photo!

Wow! Your central composition is strong. Superbly captured with good eye clarity! The expression on this birds face is priceless with that large peanut in it's mouth. Very well focused with good exposure with beautiful natural colors and excellent details. Light and shadows perfect as well. I love this! Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Lol this really made me smile! That is the cutest! Like mama instinct, I immediately worried this little darling was going to get choked but I'm sure he knows what he is doing! Lol beautiful capture and loving how you got the details of those blue feathers. Gorgeous!

Thank you so very much! I was surprised at how he can hold that peanut, the other day, he had two in his beak! They must have a lot of room in their throats!

Comment from Neilnap773
brilliant shot of this bird feeding.The structure is excellent and particularly the positioning of the peanut just above centre..eye catching and your detail focusing and presentation is simply brilliant

Comment from Renate-Bertodi
He's taking this away somewhere to crack, right? Do they eat the shell? No! I love this Jays sticky up feathers at the back of the head which makes him look a cheeky bird, and the beginnings of a very blue breast.

Thank you so very much! Yes, he takes it and cracks it open with his beak and gets the peanuts out.

huh!! crikey, what a clever bird!

Comment from michiganmike
A beautiful portrait that shows the bird in fine detail and great colors. I like the way he stands out from the background and his very sharp eye.

Thank you so very much! He is a friendly and kind of demanding little guy, if there are no peanuts on the railing, he will hop around and peck on my patio door until I come out with peanuts, apparently they have a lot of room in their mouth because the other day, he had two lengthwise in his beak. I did get a photo but haven?t downloaded it yet.

Comment from Malmax
What an incredible shot!
I can't believe this bird is holding an entire peanut in its mouth and that you have captured it so perfectly!
The detail is just amazing and the color is so true.
This is just one of those moments that needs a photo to depict it and you have done that! Fabulous work Pat!
