I like this one better. Those berries are a treat for the Northern Cardinal :toast:

A nice "over the shoulder" pose, without too distracting a background. The DOF appears to be too shallow, as the cheek, abdomen and coverts are sharp, but the head and tail feathers are soft. An ISO of 400 and about f/7.1 would be a better choice. The D300s, which I shoot, is quite capable of a relatively noise free shot of this type at that ISO. Most of my wildlife shots are between 400 and 800 ISO.
