The Stellar Jay looks great with this pose in the surrounding habitat, Ludo. Also, I really like the composition and eye contact. I think you could make this image even better by darkening the bright branches in the lower left corner. They tend to draw my attention away from the handsome Jay. This is one of my favorite images of yours, Ludo! Well done!  :)

Thanks for the kind words and suggestion on darkening the branches on the lower left. I did just that and uploaded image with darkened branches,,,it worked well, thanks again.

A Stellar image, no pun intended. Nice contrast with the rich plumage against the green foilage.
