Excellent capture, Paul! I really like the sharpness and detail in this shot. The dark green background definitely sets off the jay so nicely.

Hi Mike...

Great job on this one. You've captured his feathers detail and iridescence beautifully. I'd say he's regal rather than angry. :-D

Tom

Thank you very much Tom. I appreciate your thoughtful, encouraging comments.

avondale87 wrote in post #19067945 (external link)
Very attractive bird. I looked them up to learn more.
Your capture is beautiful. Lovely iridescence in the feathers.
Very nice

Thank you very much Richard. Your comments are always so thoughtful, and uplifting...definitely appreciated.

That’s a beauty Mike! Great pose.

Many thanks, fotoi. I appreciate your very kind comment.

Expert PS skill exhibited here, and well worth the effort because this Painted Bunting capture is fantastic.

Congrats on the Yellow Warbler!! Welcome to the addiction, it only gets better :)

Matthew, I appreciate your kind words.

Absolutely incredible, Shalu. Did you try to focus on his tonsils?:-P:-D

Thank you very much, Mike! I tried to, but the camera decided to activate eye AF instead :lol:
