Northern Cardinal

Photo was taken in Toronto 03/13. Common backyard bird. They as close to a natural set-up shot I could get...luring them in with bird food, no flash. I kind of like the spec of dust stuck to the left of the beak.

Really a nice pose and POV. The angle of the perch is interesting also as it provides some great depth. Maybe just a tad over sharpened as I'm seeing some slight halo (at least on my monitor) along his profile on the left. A wonderful image, thanks for sharing. :toast:

Nice image, John. There's plenty of color and light contrast to make the bird pop out of the bg nicely. Perfect dof for this image.
