Nice Jay, like the colors. Good birdie on a stick shot. However, the manmade screen/wall in the background takes away from the shot. A more shallow DOF may blur the background out so that it wouldn't be so obvious/busy.

Nice bluejay the colors and pose are great. I also find the background slighlty distracting.

It's an Urban Jay... ;-) I think the BG is kinda cool, just crooked.

Nice shot of a beautiful bird. Gotta love the 100-400L, the IS is a godsend.

Wow! Now that I've seen yours, I won't post mine. Mine looks so ameteur next to yours. LOL Took me 2 years to get one to sit still long enough for me to snap a 1/2 decent shot. LOL

Your shot is beautiful!

Excellent compo, that background looks like something from Alcatraz, yet it somehow works well.
