All By Himself

There wasn't another bird in sight in the backyard - and the cardinal picked out a limb without another in his face. A winner!

Agreed. I have taken loads of photos of birds with a branch in front of the face! :). Love it when they find a scenic pose!

Wow great colours

[M. Brutus]

A striking bird in the perfect setting. Even the patter of the background (are those roof tiles?) works to set off the more naturalistic subject and foreground. Lovely

I have been trying all winter to get a Cardinal picture. They are so shy. This is such a beautiful shot. Love how his bright red just stands out!!

Wow. That is also the name of the colour I was trying to think of today. I saw a lady when I was out and about today with hair this colour but I just couldn't think of the name. Great shot and you've blurred the background nicely and isolating the bird to focus attention on it. Good detail in the feathers. Fav
