An image taken at Tomahawk Ranch, Orange Grove Tx, 30 miles west of Corpus Christi Tx from a blind, 03/06/2003, 20% crop. I just replaced my video card and haven't recalibrated my monitor yet, hope this looks ok.

1/250 sec, f/9.0 Mode: Av
Metering: Evaluative ISO: 200
AF mode: One-shot AF


Thanks for looking,

Nice image -- any use of Fill Flash in this ? Slight shadow but you got the eye in the sun with a pleasing catchlight.

A nice photo with dappled light. I like the clean BG and the pose of the bird.he crest up is a plus.

David, just a gentle reminder to keep the posts to max 650 pixels on the longest side. Thanks. :)

Interesting leaning pose. I see why you cropped to a square. The detail looks excellent. :)

I missed that in the file info.

Oops, obiviously I need to look at the image size the last thing before I post, I sized the image to 650 and then added the frame and did not resize, sorry.

I really like the curious stare and the raised crest in this image. I think female cardinals are very beautiful!

This is a really sharp cardinal image. I like the females more subtle colors.

Beautiful quality to this image. I would place the bird a little further to the right, however.

This is excellent!! I love the "Old Masters" canvas background. ;)
I find the female cardinals to be more interesting than the males. Great work. :D

I love the diagonal perch with the lichens, at f11 may have all the tail sharp but then the background may have not been so nice, Congratulations.

Sweet, sweet shot. The head in the sun makes her pop. Great work.
