[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the male member of the family - spouse of the female I posted yesterday ( Cardinal in Snow ). Note also the little junco in the background - there's a flock of them living off my bird feeder right now. Not as sharp as the shot of the female as the bird was much further away, and the crop is probably about 70%.

Nice shot, Alan. Red and white make a charming combination.

A beauty, Alan. Very sharp details and great pose. The contrast of the red against the white snow is very effective. TFS. : )

Hi Alan,
wow, it's a wonderful bird sitting there so majestic. I love the brilliant red colour and the good sharpness, excellent shot, thanks

Hi Alan

This will be a quick critique as I am sneaking this in from work and I can't devote the time I would like to, but what I see is very pleasing to the eye. Good depth of colour. Well composed with nice DoF and tack sharp. Good job. Thanks.

Hello Alan, good shot. A hard one to expose. I think there is a little nit of noise but that is to be expected at ISO 400 in that light. Perhaps the composition could be better by making it around the cardinal and not including the perching birds in the BG - they are hard to see anyhow. Well done.

hi
ncie exposition and good colros good bird regards

Hi Alan!

Hello Alan,
this is a very nice capture with great colours and sharpness/dof Very good composition. Thank you.

Hi Alan,
Beautiful pic, I love red and snow combination and the juncos in the background. I think in the yesterday posted photo is a female, but I´m not an expert.
Some data that could be useful:
Order: Passeriformes
family: Cardinalidae
Genus and species: Cardinalis cardinalis

Regards
Hernán

Hi, Alan.
Beautiful capture. Good color contrast between red bird and white snow. Nice pose on branch.

Hi Alan, great capture of this cardinal. The focus is good also the colours and contrast.
Maurizio
TFS :)
