Red capped cardinal

Was showing photographer Tom Ulrich, the birds in the Rain Forest exhibit at the Miller Park Zoo, when this cardinal flew to the top of the waterfall. I had never been able to photograph this species at the waterfall before, so could not pass up the chance.

An interesting bird that I had not seen before. The pose and comp are good. The feather detail in the larger image looks a little smooth. It may be a side effect of some NR. Thanks for sharing.
