Hi Rick,

You never have to apologize for showing us a Blue Jay. I'm with Nick - I would love to see one some day. I love the pose on the rock and his wonderful face and colors. Lovely setting too. Not even photography weather here. We are at 3700 feet and the snow level may drop to 3500 tonight and tomorrow morning. Nothing like seeing the cacti covered with snow. Only problem is it is gone within minutes.

Rick,

Is the cold snap getting to you? I am on the receiving end of it and I know you pain - its cold! It sure makes photography a tough propositions as even the birds hunker down and are nowhere in sight.... I don't think you have to feel bad for going through your archives - I don't mind an injection of color at all :)

Best Regards,

Martin

Hello Rick

A lovely splash of colour,to chase some early Winter "blues" away.
Very well composed in a natural setting.
The colours appear natural and well saturated.
Good detail and focus.

Thanks for the splash of color Rick. It is interesting how quickly we succumb to the harshness and dullness of winter. You'll feel better if and when these storms blow through and you get a bright, blue sky contrasting with winter white. It has been cold and snowy here also... but not nearly as severe as you are experiencing. Driving is hazardous because people aren't used to the conditions and neither are the services. I'm staying home... and trying to catch up on critiques.

This is a nicely composed image. I like the jay perched atop that rock.
