    After shooting finches and sparrows, framing this guy was like trying to get in an aircraft-carrier after shooting pt boats! rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks, Allen. :D

    I'm jealous, I can't seem to catch the Jay that hangs out in my trees, I think he knows when I pick up my camera. That is a perfect image.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nicely captured Ric. Wonderful detail and exposure looks good. I would like to see just a tad more room around the bird (more negative space) especially around the tail and in front of the bird. Still a fine job. Just feels a tad tight to me. How did it taste ? Grilled or fried?

    Okay...this is where "content aware fill" comes in...an extra 100 pixels all around.:D
