I know I suffer from the Flu but I can't stop myself to check my feeders for just 2 hours :biggrin: It's not the most smartest thing to do I know.
But I got this shot this afternoon and it will make be better soon I think....I hope.

iso 200 1/80 sec. F5.6

Spot on Edwin. I like the way the perch frames the bird.

HI Edwin .
Nice Jay shot but I.m affraid it looks a little "studio " to me . The perch kind of dominates.
Mossy branches are great but don't always happen in real life. I do it myself , with my feeding set ups but always wonder when I see the results afterwards.
Anyway , Nice shot.
Have a good yuletide.

Nice shot, I like the 'full' composition, making the best use of the subjects within the space.

This is a beauty Edwin. Great pose on the bird, geat detail, good background (not too plain)and vibrant colouration. I have to say I disagree with John R regarding the 'studio' effect, this looks great to me.

Hi Edwin, this is is super crystal clear photo well suited to the portrait format. Personally I'm not too bothered by the perch. Hope you get rid of that flu soon! Best wishes :smile: Cliff
