This beautiful bird decided to hop onto a random but beautiful perch for me and was kind enough to sit still long enough for me to go to a vertical composition. The cardinals are normally wary up here, but this particular spot has a number of "tame" ones this year...good for us bird photographers!
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, just about FF, darkened the pupil, removed a small but distracting OOF branch, NR to the BG.
