I like it but it could have been better optimized. Most digital cameras over-saturate the reds. I cropped, reduced the red SAT, Patch Tooled out the vertical branch, and sharpened the face. Not many pixels to work with...
Love the background and the soft light.

I like the re-post particularly the tree removal !!!! Fine image John I like it a lot !!!
The only change I could think of would be to move the bird higher in the frame, but I'm odd like that ;)
Very lovely capture John and the BG is beautiful. I really like the repost too !!!
Thank you Arthur. I like your repost. The blame for the over saturation is mine, not the camera.
The removal of the tree trunk was the biggest improvement for this photograph. The cardinal looks great against the gray BG!.
I agree. I guess I am odd too. :)Originally Posted by Jim Poor
