 Was lucky enough to visit Rocky Mountain National Park for a day and just LOVED it. Got a lot of shots I like, but the light on this jay was just so beautiful it became my favorite image. He was hoping for a handout but we disappointed him. As we should in a national park.

And yes, I know the species is called Steller's Jay, but I'm being punny with the title. Bad habit of mine.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, increased saturation slightly, cloned out a pine needle on the table, Nik Viveza to lighten his eye a bit, resized, Topaz Detail.

Nice capture that could really benefit from some dodging around the eye to brighten it up and help draw attention to it a little more.
