Greetings Marc and welcome to NPN. Thanks for posting in the Avian gallery. This is a very nice capture of the cardinal. Nice composition, and environment. As Jim noted, your larger version does appear to be the same size. It can be up to 1200 pixels on the long side for the larger version. Looking forward to your images and your participation.

Marc,

Great shot of my state bird! Welcome to NPN. I joined a little less than a year ago and have gained extensive practical knowledge from the many helpful pros that participate. I am thanful I joined and I know you will be as well.

Welcome and nice first post. As I've learned, backyards can be very productive and Cardinals are often more cooperative there than in bigger environs. I like the simple perch and soft background. It really makes the subject pop.
