In Winter, several birds don't find food in the forest, so they come around the houses to check if we have something for them. Do you see the seed it has just picked up?
This one is a Blue Jay. It is beautiful isn't it? Its voice reminds me the voice of Bem-te-vi in Brazil, although they are not from the same family.
Here in this link, we have something about this bird (we can hear its voice on the page).

Before leaving for a weekend trip, I would like to let you see this image I've taken today. I hope you like it.

Another picture in WS.

Have a nice weekend, all of you !

Hello Maria,

Probably one of the most internationally famous North American birds, aside from the bald eagle. Having never been there I have seen neither, but I can appreciate their beauty from photos like this one. I like that it is partially hidden behind that branch. The blue colours are so attractive, and i like how it compliments the snowy background behind it. Well done.

Matt

Hello Maria,
Nice picture of that beautiful blue jay.Very good composition and the DOF is well managed.

A nice shot of this lovely bird on its natuaral environment. Its very difficult to take pictures of birds. The closer you get and the more you try to perfect the shot the more likely they are to fly away.
Good effort and nice colours.
Regards David

hi maria,

fine shot of the bird in natural environment. I love that the bird has something to eat despite the winter. However, contrary to Matthew, I find the branch in front of the blue jay a bit distracting (but that's nit picking). Excellent shot.

Olá Maria,
bonita foto pegando o pássaro no momento exato! Gostei da profundidade de campo também, bem reduzida, graças ao zoom utilizado.
Parabéns pela foto e uma boa viaggem pra você!

MC,
A foto, de tão linda e bem tomada, chega a estar didática, daquelas prontas para um livro. Composição primorosa, com destaque as cores do pássaro, mais destacadas.

Abração

Paulo

Oi Maria,
Que passaro lindo tem umas penas com uns tons de azul lindos , foi uma bela captura , parabens!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Oi, Maria do Carmo,
Que primor de fotografia! Vi a do WS, mas sem sombra de dúvida que esta é the best. Gostei do POV com o desfoque gradual dos planos de fundo, e nitidez do foco principal está muito boa, pois conseguimos ver os detalhes da penugem do pássaro. Aliás, a cor dele é linda, suave. E aliás, ele está numa pose elegantíssima, esperando o click. Bom trabalho, um abraço, Consuelo

Bonjour Maria,
Cette photo est magnifique. Cadrage et couleurs sont un délice à regarder, ainsi que le ws. Félicitations. Le lien est très intéressant et utile. Un bel animal.
Passe une bonne journée
Amicalement
Joël

Olá Carmo,
Aqui está um tema que nunca tentei seriamente, principalmente porque me parece especialmente difícil.
Esta está realmente estupenda, muito bem focada e enquadrada. É um bocado pena que aquele pau tenha ficado na frente do bicho, mas não se pode ter tudo.
Um abraço, José.

MC,
uma imagem com cores, contrastes belos uma bela balanceada na definicao do passaro e o fundo borrado, no entanto o fato do galho a frente do passaro atrapalha um pouco. Sem o galho seria uma foto excelente.
Abraco, Peter

Hello Maria,
Perfect framing for this beautiful macro, a pity there is a branch front the bird, but it still ok i like this shot. tfs

daniel

Oi,

Que sorte a sua, e tao dificil conseguir um momento como este. Voce devia estar bem perto ou ter um otimo zoom! As cores e os detalhes do passarinho ficaram muito boas. Particularmente acho que a moldura distrai um pouco a atencao do sujeito principal.

Abracos,

Flavia

Hi Maria. Lovely photo. These are a little different to the blue jays we saw in Toronto, they were nowhere near as pretty!! Good colour detail. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Olá Maria,
ótimo registro, chegando a mostrar detalhes da plumagem do pássaro.
Gostei muito suas cores e achei fantástico a semente (?) em seu bico.
Show,
Parabéns,
Wagner.

Que linda foto, que lindo pássaro!
Composição caprichada, MC! Parabéns!
Um abraço,
Nivaldo

Hi Maria
Indeed a fine shot of a beautiful bird - it also reminds of a Beatles song - Blue-jay way.
Tfs
Jeppe
