    A very basic setup from early last year.
    Hope to get to try something more elaborate this spring.

    Canon 1D4, 700mm
    1/400, f9.0, ISO 800
    Manual flash, tripod, hide, almost FF
    Seeds used as attractant

    All feedback appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Absolutely superb image with wonderful IQ, Sidharth.What a lovely pose you have here.
    Love the beautiful colors,very nice details,great bg and perch (which I may still tone down little, though well exposed).

    Regards,
    Satish.

    Nice looking image, Sid. I like the pose and IQ.I would put the bird higher in the frame and would darken the perch if it were mine.

    Agree about maybe giving the perch a bit more body, but that apart it's a very fine looking image.

    Hi Sid, excellent exposure on this fellow, those reds can be tricky, but you nailed them, along with the sharpness. The pose works well, lovely clean BG, and I do like the detail on the perch - nice and weathered. Im fine with the high placement of the cardinal, but would take some off the top.

    What a brilliant, bright red capture, Sid! A beauty! Outstanding colours, great perch (the perch needs a bit more colour, in my humble opinion). Super pose, and I agree with Stu about taking a bit off the top

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
