So Close and Yet So Far by kareenking

So Close and Yet So Far

I was preoccupied with getting a close-up of an acorn during an early morning walk with my husband. "There's a cardinal," my husband suddenly announces. At that moment, I saw the most close-up unobstructed view of a brilliant red cardinal perched on a branch to my left. The rising sun set him ablaze. Unfortunately, by the time I changed my lens to try to capture him, he disappeared behind the branches and foliage. This was the next best thing.
It has a wonderful, dreamy quality. Love the colors. Great capture!

Oh, that must be so frustrating! But I really like this capture, and I totally love that dreamy quality that Lisa @pflaume mentioned!

The soft focus actually makes the image very magical.

Still a nice shot. I hate when that happens, though - we get so caught up in what we're doing and then miss something else.
