Spent the weekend in the white mountains of AZ shooting fall foliage. You can see a few on the landscape forum, if you wish, but here is my one wildlife shot.

I really like the composition of this one. It's somehow just very pleasing to look at.

Great shot!

And a great "one wildlife shot" it is Dan! There's something about this shot... Might be the leaves below the subject, but I really like it.

I liked the contrast between the burnt wood, and the jays dark head. And the delicate leaves inbetween.

Outstanding image Dan. I really like the comp with the subject framed between the trees. This one of those captures where you have to ignore the "rule of thirds".
