Gorgeous detail in the Jay, John, and an excellent job adding the canvas. I'd never have guessed. I'd hate to ask you to work more on this but I do find the bright spot on the fern frond above the tail a bit distracting. You might want to consider toning it down a touch. Other than that very minor nit, a superb image.

A really awesome looking Jay. Sharpness and detail are top notch. Canvas add looks good.
