Male Northern Cardinal...Kindly View Large

Comments appreciated, thanks.

this one is great..

Mary, I knew it was yours before I saw the name. Trees, background and DOF are generally the same, just different birds.

This is a really nice photo, excellent exposure and of course, your timing to get his pose.

Jessica

Thank you Ceylan and Jessica, much appreciated. He's a tough one to get, very shy and loves to be behind something. He also always appears when I'm frozen and ready to quit, has done so regularly for the past 5 days! I could swear it's on purpose.

Mary Fran, You always have very fine photographs of birds, your's are some of the best that I've ever seen.....Your work is to be envied, at least by me.....Jim

Another nice shot Mary Fran. Wishing you warmer weather soon. -Leroy-

Brano Mary. You show us pictures from your paradise.

Thanks Jim, Leroy, and Michael, very much appreciated. I have the benefit of being able to shoot every day, so sooner or later something usually works!Leroy, it won't be spring here for a good while yet I'm afraid.

Exceptional color and composition. I even like the white (snow or seed?) on the tip of the bill.

Another gorgeous shot, Mary!!

I think these are such colorful birds we do not have them here but what a pretty capture.... I love his little crown on his head..

very interesting...it's very beautiful.the bird it's very sweet

Excellent

Very beautiful shot, Mary Fran. Composition is excellent.

Outstanding Cardinal photo, Mary Fran. I would be so pleased to have taken such a fine picture. Beautiful work.
