fantastic Jay, wondrous imagery, great background removal. glorious colour !!!! hugs
tuffcookie replied
Thanks Hilary. he is a beautiful example of a stellar. Actually he was sitting on the table which is white so all i had to do was crop it slightly to remove the grass and voila a beautiful white background for this fine bird :) hugs
dpennyor
lovely capture, such a beautiful bird. well done!!
tuffcookie replied
Thank you so much Dennis. This series of shots took about a week to accomplish. He was leading me on a merry little chase for awhile there. I woke early to get these shots :)
Jerame *
Good job. I’ve never worked with this kind of chick before.
tuffcookie replied
Thanks Jerame. Stellar blue jays are very tricky to capture. They are sneaky and can be very quick :) I had to wake early to get these shots. and also had my shutter set to its highest speed
dpennyor
you do have to tempt them to get them to stay put!! great job, I love them!!
tuffcookie replied
yep you sure do. I was contemplating buying a peanut feeder yesterday so he’d stick around longer but no need now since he;s a greedy guts and will be back for more peanuts lol

peterhoenderdos
The only way I figuered out you made this picture was. Kill the bird, stuff it, put a peanut in and make the picture. Otherwise you must be someone with great patience
Great picture really nice

tuffcookie replied
THank you Mundy I really appricate your support! and honestly this is my own work I shot it early in the morning a week or two ago. I woke up specifically to capture this little guy.
Mundy Hackett
I love the white, it makes the Blue of the Jat really pop! I think it is very creative and original!
tuffcookie replied
Thanks Mundy! thats what i was going for. its one of the reasons why i chose the table to lay the peanuts out :)
