In my opinion, you should zoom(or if you don't have a zoom lens, crop these) so that the birds are more of the focus. Birds have great colors but that gets lost in the mix of the setting.

I sooo agree with that. Nice shots, though!

Rex, nothing wrong with capturing birds in a cemetary....showing life & death. I do agree with the others in regard to a crop, focusing more on the birds. On the first one, "I" might be tempted to darken just a tad, maybe a slight curves adjustment to bring out the colors of the jay...but thats just me. Nice catches all in all. Birds are not that easy to capture
