Jay in the early morning
Another Jay on the same perch but slightly different pose. Personally I like this one most.

iso 200 1/40 sec. F4

really like the pose on this one, but i don't like the way the perch is right up against the left hand side of the frame, if that made sense, great shot anyway but i think i prefered the first for the lighting composition

Great series Edwin - not sure if this is the same image you posted on the avian section. If so, it seems to have lost some of the vibrant colours, especially at the bottom.

Edwin, really like the tones in this - the sublime use of colour/tone makes this shot for me.

Good technics again but the comp just doesn't look right on this one for me. Just my personal view. From a pic editors view I suppose the space bottom middle is good for text.
Cheers

Its another nice one Edwin, I do feel however that the image is in the upper half of the frame in this instance, the lower half, for me at least, doesn't seem to be adding to the image.

Both images are top notch but the lighting is better in the first.

There are umpteen shots/crops here. I think I would also try a few shots using less lens, with the bottom edge as is, just a thought.

An excellent shot, compliments on the composition, your thinking outside of the box.
