Wonderful feather detail and a regal look to the jay. Not sure I like the tail being cropped out. The knarly tangle of tiny twigs beneath him is quite interesting, maybe a vertical crop to eliminatesome of the OOF branches and accentuate those cool tangles. :toast:

Great that you found one of these...I searched and searched! Too bad about the tail, but the rest of the pose is excellent! Sharon

Nice pose and detail Edward. I'd be tempted to remove the oof twigs in the lower right-they want to draw my eye for some reason.
