Re: Jay
Patience in this instance Richard , I knew there were a couple of them in the foraging around as I had heard them when approaching the edge of the woodland. I positioned myself against a tree trunk with the sun shining onto the trees from behind me and then just stood and waited patiently until one of them hopped onto the branch infront of me and snap , but having said that they are very wary birds and can be difficult to get close to.Originally posted by Richard W View PostSteve ( LSINWP )

Re: Jay
My compliments for your patience and picture.
In the first instance I thought; the bird is over-sharpened. But that is not it; did you blur the background?Comment

Re: Jay
My guess it`s noise reduction that has caused that look ? I would tone down the brightness a little if it were mine Steve , but such a hard bird to get , and it`s a nice photo , well done .Originally posted by willw View PostComment
