All:Many thanks to all who looked and offered their thoughts as to why the last Blue Jay shot looks "odd".
Depth of focus cannot be the issue, because the segmented ring around the eye is sharp and clear. Motion is ruled out, for the same reasons, though it has been pointed out that the bird may have moved slightly, or had it's neck feathers ruffled, either by muscle or wind.
No matter, I still like the pose, and the shot. Here is an Evening Grosbeak, which has no such issues. http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/Grosbeak.htm Comments and criticism appreciated, as always.
