Cardinal

The other day I had a male and female cardinal this is about the best shot I got. I just don't have a long enough lens to do this justice.

Pretty bird... its red pops so well!

[Gena Pegg]

Pretty in all this greenery. Wish we had cardinals here in Oregon.

[Sharron Green]

I think it is lovely, good contrast of colors!

@kwind @eyesmile @atwinfay I was surprised it came out because I cropped and enlarged.

[Francoise]

they're the best birds... Love the litte violets in the background.

[Lyn Berriman]

He looks beautiful and the colours around him make him stand out even better!

[Joan Robillard]

@francoise I've been trying to photograph them unsuccessfully.

[Joan Robillard]

@lynnilou I agree.

[Richard Sayer]

Oh, I so wish we had Cardinals in Europe - they look so damned exotic. Given that you're limited to a maximum telephoto reach of 105mm, I think you did a great job here Joan.

@vignouse I was pleasantly surprised.
