Cardinal Male
One of my better Cardinal photos.

That a sharp, clean and well composed shot. I do like the out of focus areas... Oh yeah, I've been enjoying your videos on Vimeo today! Keep those up as well!

Daniel, all of your bird photos are getting better and better! This is quite good.

I tried creating a copy without the branches, but cloning didn't work too well with this particular image. After fussing with it far too long, I gave up on cleaning up the background. I must work more on my shot setup to see if I can get clearer backgrounds . . . as per recommendations of Arthur Morris.

Daniel, this is one of your best I think. Excellent detail and sharpness in this male cardinal shot. Nice head turn and the branches create a nice framing. Well done! :toast:
