Fall Blue jay

I liked the way the OOF yellow leaves formed a nice BG for this jay.
I should have included that this jay was photographed in the Bird Sanctuary area of the Sugar Grove Nature Center, which includes feeders. I was shooting from inside the building.

Nice close up portrait of this guy. I sure never got that close to a bluejay.

Nice detail on the beak and immediately around it, John. I'm a bit surprised you didn't have more dof with that rig. Nice pose and bg.
