mike_f4 0 Posted February 13, 2006 I LOVE THIS PHOTO! I LIKE HOW THE BLURRED BACKGROUND SUITS THE PHOTO. GREAT DETAIL AND COLOR ON THE CARDINAL. EXCELLENT PHOTO! -THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS U LEFT ON MY NEW PHOTOS!!!THANKS. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks, Mike. The background is just trees - I think in another month or two, it will be primarily green, but the leaves are mostly gone right now. I have a bird feeder close by this branch and the birds land here, then go to the feeder. Link to comment
kctwain 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Nice cardinal, Kim. Was the female nearby? Love the neutral background. Well done. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Keith, we have about 2 dozen cardinals around - a mix of males & females. Link to comment
bens 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Hi Kim, it has a very gentle feel to it, so the title made great sense to me when i opened it up. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 13, 2006 Thanks, Ben & Birte. I like evening (and morning) light for bird shots. Link to comment

kslonaker 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Sure, I'll ship you some. It's been kind of cold here anyway - low of 44 tonight, but it was 24 last night! Link to comment
aepelbacher 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Oh, yeah - this is IT, Kim! I love that the shallow DOF really makes the bird POP. He's gorgeous! Link to comment
tholte 16,395 Posted February 14, 2006 Very nicely composed and a beautiful bird! I do a cardinal song imitation and it drives my dogs nuts. Good work Kim! Link to comment

cjrupp 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Kim,of all your cardinal shots I believe that this is my favorite, not exactly sure why yet, but probably its the way that beautiful light is showcasing him. Link to comment
nichols 0 Posted February 14, 2006 A very popular bird up here in Missouri:). Especially on the baseball field. This is amazing, Kim!!! A work of art! The composition and color are spectacular! Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks for stopping by, CJ & Chris. This is one of my favorites, too. I like the soft lighting and the simple composition. Link to comment
bille 0 Posted February 14, 2006 Very nice lighting and pose of the bird. The other branch frames the subject well and echos the lines of the bird's contour. Well done. Link to comment
afterthoughts 0 Posted February 15, 2006 The bird lady is back bringing us perfection. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Thanks, Michael & Howard. Yep, more birds, Howard. One day I'll get brave and try some character shots like you take that I so admire. Link to comment
hiroya 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Exposure, composition and DOF are GREAT! Combination of quiet colors and cardinal's color is so elegant. Looking forward the next one comes. Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Thanks, Hiroya. These are beautiful birds - hard to take a bad picture of one! Link to comment
ken_thalheimer 3,739 Posted February 17, 2006 Beautifully composed with a very good DOF which really makes the cardinal pop Link to comment
