Great shot! I think this is the best photo of this species of jay I have seen. The turn of its head is very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Graham, the sharpness and exposure are great. I like the perch and the subtle suggestion of the environment by the OOF background.

It's a superb image of a Jay, Graham. I'm not so sure about the colour balance, though, as it seems a little on the warm side. Could be the background autumnal colours of course.

A warm image with an inviting habitat and good head turn

This image seems to really pop. The colors and lighting are very nice. BG adds to the overall image. Very nice.
