Blue Jay

Thanks!

Nice perch angle and blur on bg. I would consider cloning out the purple spots

I agree with Monte. The bird is nice and sharp and the dof works really well. The purple is a touch distracting. Still a very nice presentation.

The bird's posture, the diagonal perch are lovely. Pink blobs have been mentioned before. IMHO it should be cropped a bit from above and left side.

I notice that the bird's head, tail, claws and perch are exquisitely sharp but body is soft. I am not sure why? Wonder if you applied blur and did not erase the blur from the body or were there green leave that you cloned out and then reconstructed the part of the body, I see a protruding angle just below where the black part of the wing ends on the left side. Thanks for sharing. Regards ifti
