Hi Folks;
This Northern Cardinal returned to our garden after being away in over 10 years. 2 other firsts ever today were the Black-headed Grosbeak & the Sharp-shinned Hawk. Also a couple of other smaller species. Only one missing is the Hummingbirds.
Painted this Northern Cardinal for you using free Fotosketcher.
CC's welcome & always appreciated.
Warm regards
Gus
Gus, I love the pose and the painterly look to your processing. Love the raised crest and congrats on the return and capture of this one.:S3:
great energy in this pose! really like how you adjusted the image. But the bright lower background keep distracting my eye from the gorgeous cardinal.
Hi Folks;
Wee bit difficult to subtley darken the bright parts artisticly, however, like Cheryl I agree & with some judicous QM and light erasing I came up with this.
What do you think?

Nicely captured and painted Gus! The raised crest is very nice!:S3:
Love the crest of this fine looking cardinal as also the painting effect. Nice repost.
Beautiful bird painting, Gus. One of your best, I think! :S3: Love the pose and the repost looks great.
