High Key Blue Jay


Here's something a little different. In portraiture, this would be known as a "High Key" portrait. The background and in general, the lighting is bright. Why not try it on a Blue Jay.

The Blue Jay is studying the peanut ring, swinging just above him. He struggled a long time with many attempts to to get a peanut. About halfway in the struggle he hopped down on the rail stood still for a second, spotted the water dish and flew over to it for a long cool drink. After that refreshment, he went back to the struggle of trying to pull a peanut out of the ring. He did find success.
