Nearly a jay!
OK, after 4 full days of trying to get my ideal jay shot I gave up. I did get this fellow while waiting however ;) so no complaints. Sat right where I wanted the jay too.

7D ISO800 500 f4 1/250

very nice shot, detail in the blacks and whites are well held, i do find the reds a little vivid but probably just me

An excellent shot, just as difficult to get close to as a Jay :smile:
Well done.

Geoff.

A good quality image Neil, just not of a Jay !

Nice background as well.

Cheers

Austin

It's funny isn't it - I get quite a few visits from Jays and occasionally an OK image or two. Any spotted woodpecker hides on the other side of the tree, or is up in the canopy - so I am jealous - great shot. Colours look good to me.

Looks fine to me Neil, loads of detail and good background

not a bad substitute for a Jay :smile: :toast:

Hello Neil.

Lovely detailed shot and a very nice capture.

Dont give up on those Jays, it was some time before mine would give me the time of day. Now they come so close I just cant focus.
