i'm sorry i am stumbling all over myself, but i want to do it right. after viewing the "blue jay in viburnum" i looked at my cardinal and saw nothing but NOISE!!!! i went back and took the noise out. if you guys will let me i'd like to resubmit this photo.
again, i'm sorry.

Nonda is correct all you need is to post another. We always like keeping the original for comparison.
I like the pose and eye contact very much, exposure looks good and its sharp. Would suggest cropping some of the bottom perch and adding some at the top if yo have it. Placing the bird further left would also help. The bg is not bad and you can blur slighltly.
If birds visit your backyard might consider setting up perches to control the bg !! Will re post with changes.
Nice job with the noise reduction Michael! I like Al's crop a little better because it gets the bird out of the center of the frame and removes the vertical branch on the left that I find a little distracting. I would also try to tone down the hot spot on the perch like Alfred did.
thank you all for the comments.
i will try to set up some more perches for the birds. i don't know what kinds of bg you might want other than green. are any other colors good for bg??
Good advice given by Mr. Al, and advice taken and put into play...good job...:cool: The first thing that hit me when I saw your image was the excessive amount of noise nice repost and correction.
