Another masterpiece, Roberta. Great expression on the Cardinal and such vibrant colors.

Roberta, your song bird images are just to die for!! Great composition, and nice choice for text color and border.

Roberta: The color and expression work perfectly against the background in setting the Holiday mood. The angle of the perch is perfect. Fremiet

Roberta,

You are a master of bird photography. Incredible shots you got. I am amazed about the perfect exposure (extremely difficult to achieve with the snow in the background) and the sharpens of the images.

Beautiful postcard.

Beautiful capture - I love his red color against the white snowy background! I love his expression too, and his "serious" message!

Sonny,
Yes, that is snow. I know what you mean about the Canon 100-400 because I have that lens too. I was very surprised by the H-1's capability for bird shots. To make both of us feel better, the 100-400 provides a higher percentage of keepers!

Really beautiful shot and a good looking bird! Bravo!

This is perfectly captured, Roberta! Love the expression of the cardinal. I also love the contrast between its bright red color against the plain white background - is that snow in the background? You're putting my Canon 100-400L lens into shame:) Very well done.

Great capture, Roberta! I love the perfect snowy background and composition, and the wonderful color of the cardinal. An elegant greeting card! Bev

Roberta, this is a beautiful capture of a cardinal. I love the expressive pose that goes along so well with your greeting...and the excellent color and clarity here. Like your other bird shot, the simple/minimal composition, DOF, and contrast are all very appealing. Well done, Roberta...nice choice of subject that's such a symbolic part of the holiday season. MFC

Roberta, when I first looked at the bird I thought "gee, that bird sure looks serious about something". Then I read your title and had a good laugh! So cool! What a beautiful shot of the bird and it sure makes a very nice greeting card. I really like it.

Roberta, what a beautiful photograph and greeting card. The bird is gorgeous. I really miss Cardinals, we don't have them in California. WOW, I cannot stop looking at this incredible photo!!!
