Blue jay
by Breezanemom

Casselberry, FL

OK, this is my try at diffused light.
I was taking the trash out when I heard the blue jay screeching near our house.
Ran in, got the camera and waited on the back porch for him (her?) to show up and she did not disappoint me.
Unfortunately, the neighbor's dog was barking, so he (she?) didn't stick around long.

I think this works for diffused light - am I correct?

You did a great job capturing him - very sharp and I like that he is looking right at you. Yes, you can tell the sun is actually on him - so not entirely diffused, but nice nonetheless.

This is partially diffused lighting; dappled with sun. Totally diffused lighting is more even and usually without any sun shadowing. Nice catch of the Blue Jay out in the open with such dense foliage.
