You capture a great pose for this Juvie, Jerry. The light on this one works great for those Blues in the Jay. A very nice image.

Nice image. I like the pose and the open beak. The perch is a nice shape and a pleasing background all add up to a fine capture.

I like the calling pose and interesting to see the plumage of the youngster and how it differs from an adult, nicely done Jerry devil

Hi Jerry
Nice action and detail. I have question about the Jay's coloring? Did a shadow cause the lack of color on the front half of the Jay?
Keep up the nice work.

Looks like it's pretty far along already, Jerry. A really nice image with excellent detail and a nice dynamic pose. Your dof worked very well to keep the entire perch in focus.

Great look on its face Jerry. Love the nice colors and that teenage hair doo is really slick.
