I've found Blue Jays to be one of the most difficult birds to
photograph here in urbanised Boston--they just never sit still! And
here you've not only caught one, there's actually some action!  :-D

Loved the shot, and seeing it before I read your explanation I didn't
notice you'd used flash, which to me is the sign of good flash usage.

Can I come over for breakfast someday?  :-)

 That is precious, good catch.  I'd crop a bit off the top however.

Fun stuff. That lens has excellent bokeh in most situations. Nice.

Thanks Jack.
I just wish i was a split second faster on the shutter button, as both
of them were all fluffed up.

-1.5 is to much and -2.0 is a tad to little, so a small amount on the
fill light slider in LR2. Also the blue seemed to pale so i just did a
minor on the blue slider.

Dave

Oh well

Liz and i had our tea out side, at first light this morning. Birds had
come a bit earlier than normal for their
breakfast.

A lot of jays this morning.

This one had his meal interrupted.
