Northern Cardinal

[Joel Eade]

Backyard setup with birdfeeder nearby. Canon 40D, 300 2.8L + 1.4 TC, 1/320 sec., f/4.0, iso 200. usual processing with ACR and CS4, nothing added or cloned out. The vignette effect came from trees in background.

I like the pose, sharpness and eye contact and only wish we could see more of the tail.

Just wish the full tail was seen, still loved the details, nice pose and the BG adds well to this frame...
