Stunning bird, wonderfully captured! I love the contrasting colours and detail of the Jay and the way the background harmonizes with the green plumage. Great to be seeing your work again Angela :^)

Superb detail in this Jay, Angela. Very nice light and a very pleasing perch and background. You did a nice getting the eye to stand out well against the black plumage. Great image.

What an amazing bird Angela. The bird looks so beautiful against the nice background. In the larger photo I can all the beautiful shades of color in the bird's feathers. Very nice!
