Info A fledgling blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata). I uploaded a couple other shots of this bird, but liked this one of it calling out to its parent. all by — Rhododendrites talk | 15:54, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Question highlights are starting to blow up, is it possible to take the exposure down by one notch? --Ivar (talk) 18:41, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment Not as sharp as usual except for the head (F5.6) and blown highlights on the chest you might be able to recover. Not sure I'd call it a fledgling. For me, portrait crop. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:43, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
New version uploaded - I brought the exposure down a tiny bit, but also lowered some of the highlights beyond that. Also went in to do some selective sharpening. Will have to think about a crop. I tend to prefer more space on either side in general. As for "fledgling," it's somewhere on the edge of fledgling and just "juvenile." I erred on the side of fledgling, despite it clearly not being fresh out the nest, because it still seemed dependent on its parents, based on its behavior. — Rhododendrites talk | 19:00, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Slightly qualified support Not totally perfect—the talons on the branch are a little soft—but so much of the rest of it is right (I really like the green bokeh; that is more difficult to do that well than people realize) that it should not be a dealbreaker.

Support Bird is perfect, but what happaned to that bunch on left side, why such echo ? I know its mistake by stack, but this wasnt stacked, probably ?
- Not sure what you mean. This is not a stack and I don't think I did anything here other than adjust typical tones/sharpness/noise sliders. — Rhododendrites talk | 19:06, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
