    These gorgeous little guys are all over Kauai - they are native to South America and were introduced to Hawaii in the 1930's. The bird is also known as the Brazilian Cardinal.

    Cheers,

    A lovely composition and capture Bruce. I like the dead on in your face look. The details are sharp and you have good colors. My suggestion is to tone down the reds; they are a little on the hot side especially in the head area just back down on the red channel. You got yourself a keeper...congrats...:cool:

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family...:cool:

    Fully agree with Gus Those reds get overcooked on their own in camera !!

    Love the low angle, setting and pose I like it a lot !!!
