Intricacies of a cardinal's head

This cardinal wasn’t into getting its picture taken, but Tim managed to get a closeup of its head, which I found fascinating with all those finely detailed feathers.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Getting close in like this really does bring things into view that we otherwise would never see.
