Should I or Should't I?

I have been away from posting for quite some time and decided to renew and join in the fun.

This was taken yesterday on one of my backyard feeder stations. After several trips to get peanuts, this Blue Jay appeared to be having second thoughts about this one.

Thanks for looking.
C&C appreciated.

Bird has a nice pose LeRoy, I suggest you hollow a log and put the seeds in the hollow so that they are not seen on the photo.

It would of been nice to see more eye contact and the bright spots behind the tail are a little distracting. I think the blue jay's have a very interesting color pattern when you get a close look at them.

Nice colors on this. The bright spot under the foot is a bit distracting for me...almost gives the impression that it's in mid air. Still a fun shot and looking forward to more from you! Sharon
