This female cardinal will argue the point. She's showing what it was like here in Indiana today. Rough. :D

Glad to say she did eventually get dried out.

    I'd apply noise reduction and some blur to the background, Bud.:D

    Thank Pyry. She did a good job getting back in shape after the rain. Pitiful picture though isn't it?

    Thanks Ric and please be my guest at editing. I haven't shot much at 800 ISO and I do see the noise but.....I'm a poor editor. I've got Elements 5 and Paintshop Pro XI but really haven't messed much with noise reduction.

    I guess the shot does look like I put a 'film grain' filter on it. :D
