Day 59 – Bluejay

Bluejay

I’ve been watching these Bluejay’s dance around in my parents yard all summer.  I finally got out the big lens and started chasing them around yesterday.  I think the score was Bluejay’s 10 and Jeanne 1 but I finally got one to hold still long enough to get a pictures.  My research indicates that this is a Western scrub Jay.  Post processing was about as usual. I then added a smart sharpen filter in Photoshop and a layer for burning out the spectral highlights….believe me they were much worse!  I also went back into Nik to add a border in hope to contain the highlights a little.  I think it helped.
