Cardinal taking flight

This is a good capture. A split second as the bird is taking flight. I like the warm colors The series, I imagine, would more shots of robins similar to this one, or other birds in the stages of flight, for example, that we are not used to seeing. Easier said than done. Has this been cropped? I kinda want to see more of the are around the bird. The shapes and contrasts are interesting. 

Thanks for sharing!!

I agree with the previous author about the tones and color. I would like to see the dace of cardinal a bit lighter. Otherwise, very interesting capture.

Very nice capture. colors, wing-movement and sharp face. Congratulations! Regards, Wobby.
