I enjoy that shot of the cardinal. I find that it can be very hard to get details to show up in red. But you have done a very good job of it. I take bird shots, too. Though the birds here in Southern California are mostly rather dull in coloring. To camouflage with the local backgrounds, I imagine. I enjoyed shooting them while I was in Florida. They seemed much more interesting and colorful. And many more water birds.
@mbrutus you would definitely enjoy Florida!! I lived in California for 50 years. Moving here 14 years ago and shortly after started shooting wildlife!
