Hi every one, today a Jay in the pouring rain. With this and the last few posts I am playing with composition, pose, background and light; Your feedback on what works and does not would be very much appreciated.
As always thanks for taking a look at this and previous posts

For me I would cut out the negative space to the birds right............left side as you look on the screen................the important space is to the left of the bird (right as you look on Screen), this space is where the Jay will be flying into. It does not matter where the bird has come from but it is important to know where the bird is going..........
This is only MHO.................many peeps will say differently...............also rules are there to be broken...........

Thanks Julia, good advice.
Considering the conditions prevailing Dave I think you have a great shot. Composition is an aspect that might be worth looking at with a crop of the type suggested above. The Jay himself is well focussed and exposed with good plumage detail.
Not the easiest bird to get anyway.

Bloody Hell David, now you're rubbing salt in to the wound
