Very good.

The bird should be just a bit nearer to the center of the image, IMO.

I like how much depth is in the shot compared to some of the others in this challenge. Tones are good. Usually blue jays are shot highly saturated. I almost wouldn't have recognized it without the title :p

I really like this. It seems like it should be busy, but the bluejay is such a central focus that everything else seems to complement it.

the upper branch is distracting but I like the concept. I know this was a basic edit challenge-I would go back in and clone out the in focus upper branch that would make for a great photo. I like the out of focus branch behind the bird.

I like this alot - works very well in B&W and the branches in the background add just the right touch, in my opinion.
