Hi Jerry
I like this shot better then the last one, The coloring (light reflection) off the Jay back look must better.

Very good, Jerry. This paired with your last shot really shows the difference between juvenile and adult plumage. Excellent pose and detail.

Nice straight forward image of this guy Jerry. Great light with very sharp detail. I like the leaves for the bg too.
