Love to catch a cardinal in the falling snow... they sure help brighten a dull, snowy and dreary day!

I love these birds, wish we had these over here in the UK

Well captured, the snow adds a lot.

They sure do brighten up a dreary day, their bold red colors amaze

Love the snow falling through your frame, and the bit of snow on the birds beak's a nice touch

A nice winter image. Good exposure; nice catchlight.

Nice one Sharon - like your comp and the snow on the stump. The red certainly adds a splash of colour.

cheers

Very well captured, Sharon. I saw one around here like this today too....in the snow. However, even if I had had my camera it would not have produced an image as nice as this one.

Beautiful, Sharon. Excellent exposure and detail and the falling snow really makes this image.
