There's a cardinal near me that taunts me to get a photo - I can only imagine somehting like this.

Nice detailed shot. Depth of field is perfect with the shot.

I love cardinals. I miss them on the west coast. Darn if you couldn't have cut that branch out. 7

Am fond of photographing birds. This is superb detail, position, clarity, and most of all of a cardinal..

a little more saturation would have helped this one pop a little more.

Merry Christmas! I always think of the holidays when I see a cardinal. Wonderful happenstance shot. I am really liking the water in little lines instead of frozen in place too :) He has some drops on his feathers under his chin too! Wonderful!

I like the moving snow flakes, that's that extra touch!

I cant help thinking if I'd entered this, people would be telling me the bird in the background was distracting. Good Luck 7
