Salut Alain
Belle capture du cardinal a poitrine rose.Bon pdv et image bien en focus avec de bon detail
Merci

Bonjour Alain,

La branche et les feuilles cadrent bien l'oiseau. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs du cardinal à poitrine rose. la lumière de l'après-midi rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.
