many congratulations Larry on the ribbon .. such a cute little bird .. and i'm loving the turn of his head .. like he's going .. take this shot .. it's my best side .. !! .. ;)
Nice catch! Love the color. Blue Jays are easily spooked (at least in my neck of the woods), so you either had a long lens, a blind to setup in, or one really clean window! :-) Well done.
I'm not a bird of flower photographer myself, bu this comes off just about perfect for me. The bird contrasts well with the background and the DOF is just enough to separate them but let me see it all with nice details.
