The colors really pop. Good detail in the bird and, of course, the water spray is great.

Nice action shot, Lennart. He looks like he is having a blast bathing, and could care less that you are there taking photos of him.

Beautiful, Lennart. Another great bathing image and this bird really gets into it. I wish our local jay species came to my ponds.
