Neat image

Rarely see blue birds around here so I was excited to get a couple shots off before it flew away. Haven't seen one since. I predict it won't do that well in the voting because there is nothing really special about this shot other than I like it.

Could you have this jewel as a pet? And how do you lure it to pose? The tonality is spectacular!
