A beautiful greeting-card image Bev. I like the way they are looking in opposite directions. --Melanie

The colorful birds against the almost monochrome background makes them stand out even more. Postcard-perfect!

Lovely image, Bev; I could imagine it as a Christmas card! I like the splashes of color provided by the birds against the bleak winter background. Helen

Wow, what a beautiful image this is; perfectly done Bev! I like the way the background is blurred but yet shows the wintry conditions. Your frame is a very nice addition too. Simply gorgeous, I love it!

Wonderful capture, Bev...and a great wintry scene. That cardinal pair is posed just right. The flying snow is really a nice touch. Nice shot! MFC

Wonderful captue - perfect exposure, the colors of the cardinals looks lovely on this snowy day! I love the composition, falling snow, the DOF, and your frame.

Beautiful shot, and I can even see the snow falling. For some reason the cardinal pairs that come to my feeder aren't quite as keen on posing together - not on "chirruping terms", perhaps... :-)
