Another Jay from our back garden, this time with a different background, (shed wall). For those wondering about the techs... the light was changing constantly and I was too slow to dial the ISO down....
All the best

Nice one Phil. I presume the stunp is a food bowl The techs look ok to me. I'd sooner have the 2000th sec !

Nice one, only slightly jealous. Like the pink BG.
...sorry Phil, doesn't do anything for me as it looks too much like it's been stuffed, mounted and put on display in the local museum! The difference between the focus of the bird & stump and the background is simply too much - you might have got away with it if you had a more natural dappled green & brown background, but I don't think the red/brown of the shed really works here .

The BG makes it for me. Maybe a bit less stump at the bottom but no biggy

Well Phil I don't quite understand what Nick's saying but I'm not learning to love the BG colour and I agree with Bob that the stump's a little dominating.
Having said that, it's vastly superior to any Jay image I've ever taken so I'll shut up now
