I'd print it, frame it, and hang it on the wall. Good shot, I like it.

A pretty nice shot of a beautiful bird. You did well. A glint of light in the eye would have made the shot better, but you can't always get that. If the bird is not in a hurry then try and get the angle of the light to glint off the eye. Or use a flash to get it.

Thank you Mike, never to old to learn. I would never have thought to use a flash bring out the eye.

A good shot ,the only things as said are a light in the eye and it seems to have some noise in it as well.
I have hunted for months to finally get a Blue Jay pic, not an easy task so well done.

Yep, will I am still learning here too! Once you start looking for it, you'll notice the glint as you look for the shot.
