I don't believe anyone has posted a cardinal for quite awhile, so here is one from Florida,
on a piece of driftwood on a beach.
SE Florida coast

Lovely pose and perch, Sandy. For as common as they are in certain places, they can be amazingly difficult to catch in the open.

The color and detail are excellent, Sandy, and I love how well this shows his crest!

A handsome fellow, Sandy, very nicely captured. I like the color palette with the slight reddish tinge to the sand in the background.

Nice soft light and a clean background. Good pose and detail.
