These are, I believe, the best photos I've been able to get of this female cardinal. She was taking a break from sitting on a nest in my backyard.

    Very nice. The color scheme of both photographs works very well. The cardinal is very sharp.

    Great exposure, and image, however your framing should be a little more to the center. thumb.gif

    Great photos. I like the sharpness of the eyes and beak. I also like the flowers in the bush. I bet they smelled really sweet. I have one in my yard but it didn't bloom well this year because of a late freeze. That cardinal will love the berries this winter.

    They are both very nice shots, with pleasing color and very nice detail.thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
