That a cool shot! I love the wings and how you can see the individual feathers.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I think the key to this capture was the 8mm lens. I just rested the camera on the patio rail and put a peanut on the rail an inch or two in front of the lens and waited. (I didn't wait long, the jays will take peanuts from my fingers.) Minimum focus, fast shutter speed, medium aperture and high speed continuous shooting.

Yeah...I had my teeth cleaned a week ago. But I do wonder what the hygienist meant by saying I'm rather long in the tooth.
