It worked out great. Love your fiesty bird and not often we see the crook at the end of their upper bill.

And a great head shot it is. I like how the DOF gave slight out of focus range to the crest.

Very nice Glenn. I like the curious look on the face of the jay.

Nice close up of this Jay, Glenn. Great detail in most of the head, but I do wish for a bit more depth of field in such a tight portrait to show off all the detail in the crown as well.
