Good point, though I like the idea of the peanut left behind, to be furtively received later on. :-) |

Sadly, it appears I failed to convey the idea to many commentors that the out of focus children in the background left the peanut as THE GIFT. I don't know whether to be more disappointed in the crop-happy, speed-commentors for their inability to see; or myself for my inability to convey.
If I'd wanted a stock photo, I would've made it that way.

| I thought I recognized those girls! ;-) Nice shot, Slippy! I'm mixed about whether the tighter crop would be better. Tighter maybe, but not just the head perhaps. |

| Nice to see the version with just the jay's head. I really prefer this version and I imagine it would have done better. Thanks for pointing out the snow. Had I noticed on the first time through I probably would have voted higher (another reason to go with the tighter crop) |

| Outstanding, the dof is absolutely perfect. Looks like he is posing just for you, this is a great shot. I just love blue against the almost golden background. Very well done! |

| Great color and focus. Hopefully people will realize how hard it is to get a good shot like this and not vote low due to the distracting people in the background. |

| personally, I think that this would be a stronger image if the people were cropped out ... nonetheless, great capture ... love the colors, bokeh and sharpness of the bluejay ... 7 |

| I love the color and detail on the jay, but I really would prefer the people cropped out. They compete for my attention with what is a very nice capture of the bird. |

| The people in the left part of the image are quite distracting. Cropping them out would have helped immensely. |

| Striking - I am sure you may have a few comments about the people - I can understand you having them in there - Only problem for me is the one wearing red - It's too much competition for the eye against that wonderful blue bird. Still a great capture though. |
