Female cardinal 'ensconced' in the leaves of our myrtle, she feels right at home..
I like the way she's straddling the leaves, and fanned tail.

The large version looks much nicer, pops pretty well. I like how she has her left foot positioned on the plant.

She really seems quite relaxed, Howard. The perfect little model.

Wonderful image with the eye in focus. I wouldn't change a thing!

Great eye contact here Howard, it seems like there is a bit of a greenish cast to the cardinal, may well be because of the green foliage around her.
