This was taken in my backyard in 2008. If i was taking this now I would use a higher ISO. I wish the bird was in better plumage but you take what you can get. All C&C welcome.

Nice image, Jim. Unique perch, great background and a venerable favorite in the bird department. I sympathize with you on the plumage - all of our cardinals look like this right now, it seems.
Nice comp, OK perch, great BG. You've already mentioned plumage. Light looks like it was getting on the harsh side of things. With 1/800s. your ISO was OK as is...especially on a tripod.
nice pose , perch and BG here

Just curious why you would go higher on the ISO? Seems that the bird is sharp so you had enough ss, and the background is quite nice, so your aperture was right on. Just curious. :)
Bird still looks pretty good despite his less than perfect plumage. Colors are deep and rich and complement the BG nicely.
Beautiful Bird Jim, loved the colours, nice perch, BG and comp, congrats..
