Female Cardinal

She has too many branches in front of her and the one running across her back makes her back look blurred but I like the buds around her. Spring is right around the corner.

Beautiful shot, Beth. Tthe soft-focus twigs in the foreground give an almost 3D effect and concentrate attention on the bird.
