That's a very interesting setting for a Blue Jay and the reflection is great. Something doesn't look quite there with the processing particularly of the bird , could be losing detail from a large crop or the higher iso. It's worth trying to improve because other than that it's a really cools shot.

You caught this jay in a terrific pose Rick. I would have cropped a tad more off the left to give it more canvas in the direction it's looking. Unfortunately the large version is pretty soft, was this a drastic crop?.

I like this very unusual setting, pose, and the birds full reflection Rick.
Is that a bird in your BG to the front of the jay?
Darned if I can figure out what it is
Well done
