Blue Jay Houston, TX

F5, 600, Sensia 100.

Thought I'd join in on the Blue Jay theme with this oldie that some of you may have seen before. This was a backyard setup.

Alan:

Great pleasant saturation, the complimentary colors are a killer. The eye contact a bonus.

Gorgeous Blue Jay -- this really does it justice. I feel as if the whites on the bird are a bit too much magenta, but perhaps that is due to the film used.

I think I remember this one. Great shot of an awesome bird. It might be a tad too saturated for me when I look at the barch of the tree. I agree on the magenta in the bird.

Cheers

I can't think of a better Blue Jay shot. I think the saturation/color mentioned have come from scanning a slide as I can't imagine the original being anything but perfect. So.....do you have an equally productive backyard with the new house. Oh....still hate you!!
