Hi 
Its been sometime since I posted here at NSN.. I still visit often and view all your excellent work..
I am quite backlogged with processing till June 2017. This was my last image taken in 2017 late in the day. 
Very rusty with processing images in photoshop. Some saturation, noise reduction and sharpening was applied in layers. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Really beautiful image. I grew up with these in my yard as a kid but haven't lived near them since I've been into photography. As such this is one of my most wanted target and this image makes me very envious!

This is striking and beautiful. Well composed in the frame and the pine cones add habitat interest to the setting. Immediately, one of my favorite blue jay photos as well.

Not sure if this should be on a postcard or a calender :)
Either way this beauty deserves being printed!!
