Description
YAY, for the last 3 days I have been after this bird constantly. After i posted the titmouse shot, I went back in the living room sat down in a chair and looked outside. I saw this fellow on a tree right by my house. I opened the window, and snapped away. I only got 2 shots, because the flash scared him away, but luckily this shot was clearly in focus. I always seem to get shots, when its totally not expected.Related content

Beautiful photo. :3 I just ran a search on bluejays for some references for their color pattern.. and this is an interesting-looking 'jay. The ones around where I live have a more pointy crest of feathers on their heads. This one looks funny to me since it just has a round little head. XD

I dont really take deviant seriously. Im pretty new to deviantart, I just post recent pictures on deviant, just to see what common people say and to help me know what they like. I have taken some fabulous pictures in the past, and have not sold many of them at art shows, Its stunning to see what people buy. I have this baby turtle shot, first hatched, and its ofcourse a macro, and the turtle is totally blurred, but yet it sells like crazy. So, im right now im trying to use deviantart to see what people prefer. It gives me a good insight, before I go to some of these art shows.

I would have to disagree, Considering I focused on the eyes. Although there are several levels of focusing. Most photos even taken by professionals are not as sharp as they could be. You get a very few, that are. But the bluejay I posted was not edited at all. All my work I post on deviant, has very little editing on them, because im to lazy to transfer them to my other working computer where I have all my tools on. I usually transfer a lot of photos that need to be printed all at once, instead of doing them 1 by 1.

it;s a great image, don;t get me wrong. I just lacks that last bit of pop to make it truly excellent. I am talking about the sharpness and pop like this one [link]

I see these fellas all the time where I live, most people don't like them because they are greedy when it comes to food, but they are a beautiful bird.

nice shot, nice crop, and sharper than your last few. I still think the dof could have been wider. Otherwise realy good catch.
