Superb up close and very personal!
Eyecatching avian portrait!
Pin sharp focusing...
Fine facial features and smooth textures.

Dynamic diagonal framing...

Nice perspective and narrow dof.
Thanks!

Great capture of this guy. They definitely dominate the scene when food is out out. I love the clarity and his facial expression you have caught. Good one!

This is an excellent photo! The light is shining on him so beautifully. The focus is clear and crisp. You can see individual feathers on him. He does seem to be giving you the stare down. That's what my dog does when he wants something. The composition is perfect.

Red belly woodpeckers will chase them off and one time I saw a hummingbird chase one. A very fine shot with great detail. Best of luck in the contest.

    Thank you so much! I think all the birds know that the wood peckers are not to be messed with!

Lovely composition here and the background contrasts nicely in the overall composition. Great expression captured on the angle of the bird, Colours work well with each other for good depth. Well done and thanks for sharing

This has exquisite detail! I really enjoy how sharp the texture of the fur is and how well the tiny feather strands stand out. Nice light in the eyes with a lovely softness to the background.

Willie,
A beautiful picture of this Blue Jay in profile it's eye watching your every while I think voicing his opinion judging by it bulging throat that seems to swell when you see & hear it singing. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
