Bucket List Cardinal by darylo

Bucket List Cardinal

Yes, I have coveted all you 365ers' photos that have cardinals in the snow. And now I have one! Ok, the snow may be a bit more the size of dust, but dagnabit, I got one! Actually, I got too many, but I loved the focus on his face!
Wow, fabulous capture!

Very happy for you! the shot is beautiful! My 'holy grail' is to capture my friends the Hummingbirds in flight and not just sitting at my feeders!

Amazing capture! Love it!

He's a beauty! I thought of you and wondered if you'd be out making snow angels when I saw on the news that snow had invaded as far south as Florida.

That's a fave, Daryl! He's gorgeous and so well-captured!

@timandelke the kids did the angel thing. I kept my eyes on the birds. The snow has stopped and the sun is out, so today I should be able to get some nice crisp images (and more cardinals--holy cow, you should see how many birds are in my backyard because of the feeders--it's unnerving).

@pamknowler seriously, I keep seeing these awesome cardinal-in-snow shots and I was just so excited to have a chance. Better chances today as sun is out and I can up that shutterspeed! woohoo!

@seejillrun Oh, they are quite lovely--which I did not really fully appreciate until I started the 365 project and looked at my world more closely.
January 29th, 2014  
Perfection, lady. Fav!!! I adore cardinals. My state's bird:).

Lovely cardinal capture. Great job

We don't have these here, so I didn't expect to see such orange color. This is really a fine closeup, and the snow adds atmosphere.

So beautiful!

@rvwalker It should be more red than orange, and apparently the red shows up better on the higher-calibrated monitors screens. I'm having a hard time really trying to see what my edits look like on my older screen (my husband gave me a new large monitor and graphics card so I could do editing side-by-side). I wanted a dual monitor system when I started writing online courses--but now it's great for photos!
