Thanks for the comment! It's fun to try knew techniques...sometimes it works and sometimes not so good, but it's always worth a try even if I do delete most of them.

Nice shot of a blue-jay! And the artistic shot is dreamy.

Nothing plain about that Blue Jay, very nice in my book.

The blurred blue jay looks great really shows motion to my eye and the other one is very nice as well.

Jim, I like both of these, but that blur shot is extra special and wonderful! Blue fluidity.

My thoughts are if you're not very good at doing something at least try to make it interesting...
