Dave, he looks like he is thinking “what the heck?” Love the expression and the snow. IMHO, the crop works well.

A fine wintry scene. I like the bit of green framing the jay. Pose and cropping are good. Merry Christmas, Dave.

Very nice, Dave. I really like the puffed up look and the framing looks fine. You must be further up in the hills than I thought if you have snow.

I love the colors and shallow depth of field yet lots of details in the feathers.

Beautiful.

Hi Dave,
A real beauty with the raised crest and those blue feathers. Snow adds a lot of interest also.

Dave, a really nice snowy jay. The crop works well. The jay’s blue against the snow is very appealing. The catchlight seems a bit funky, and might be reduced a little.
Fine image!

Lovely - whites handled very well and your subject itself appears justv right!
