Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Birds Gallery, week ending 13th January, 2012!
Image
Another Laguna Seca image. So many green jay ops and this bird landed where Alan hoped he would. I know he is centered but I preferred not to crop off some of the flowers on the right

1DM4, 500 IS, f 7.1, natural light, tripod
Enjoy viewing

Jim, a very colorful image. I like the diagonal line the perch creates and I would not crop it either.

Jim,

Beautiful shot. I like how you kept the end of the perch in the frame on the right.

A very very nice shot! IMO, you could cut a bit on the left and on the right and keep the same great impact. And nice as is too!

A pretty image, Jim!
A touch more room atop would be even better.

Lovely subject and perch, Jim. What great colors all together. I find the bird a tad high in the frame for my taste.
