St. Francis And The Cardinal

I shot this a few months ago when I was doing the St. Francis

series. I ran across this pic yesterday that I had forgotten

about. Normally I would clone the peanut out of his mouth, but I

thought it worked in this case.

Wonderful :)

Really beautiful work Scott! Regards, Ruud.

I like the peanut .... it's as if the cardinal is sharing his food with St. Francis ! Wonderful image!

I think these captures are the most original and unimaginative to the imagination to grasp :-) Well done :-)

This picture moves me on so many different levels. It looks very like the poor cardinal came to steal the peanuts, but one look at the saint's face, and the sinning bird broke down and confessed his sins and offered to return the peanut, nnever to steal again.

We have a St. Francis statue in our garden. Unfortunately he isn't holding a bird feeder. Beautiful shot.
