Jaime,

This is a cute fellow. Would it go against your principles of honesty to lighten the b.g. so that the splendid dark brown plumage would allowed to attract more attention.

Beautiful image, Jaime. Agreeing with Asher, I'd probably play with this image a little, to see if some tonal adjustments might create more separation from the background.

BTW, Jaime, are there folk lore tails about this bird. It seems so mischievous and fun, as if Disney had made it all up from his imagination and just for kids! Or is your picture unusual in this respect and the guy just looks like a fun fellow? From what I have discovered, your Steller's Jay is about the cutest and most important "character" among the jay's I've looked at!
