Last Jay for now
I'm sorry but I quite like my Jay's. This morning I sat before sunrise until 12:30 hr. It was a long sit but you just can't tell when those Jay's turn up. So I didn't want to go home before those birds showed up. They did and I just like that frosty perch and light.

iso 200 1/40 sec. F4

Hi Ed,

Quite like the "frosty colors" in this one. Tones are muted and dull but that gives this image a great wintery atmosphere!
Now give that perch to me so i can ask my Kingfishers to land on it..... :wink: :jump:

Well done mate!

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Makes me feel chilly just looking at it Ed :eek:

BG looks quite nice, and the comp is working for me on this too but to be honest Ed the perch does have me in a bit of a quandary - it's the sloping right side of it that I'm not overly keen on.

But that's just me matey so no worries :biggrin:

Bet this would look nice with the 1.7x on too....

Hi Edwin
I think this is the best one of the series and I the perch is fine, my only very minor nit is the three vertical bands in the BG, but I still wish I had anything near this quality.

Regards :toast:
