Terrific shot Roy! Is that you and your blind I see in the Jay's eye?? Beautiful colors of blue, turquoise, even grays and blacks and whites. Spot on exposure!

When they're not being noisy and annoying, you get a brief chance to appreciate the fact that they're handsome birds. ;-)

Now, that's a close up! Very, very nice. I've not seen one up close before.

Terrific shot. The detail in the catch-light of the eye enhance the photo.

That's the closest look I have had of a bird's eye. :) Nice work.

Fantastic close up Blue Jay portrait, Roy. I love the focus on the eye. Also, wonderfully sharp detail on the Jay, right down to details of individual feathers and markings on the bird's beak. Very nice colors also.
