Hi Don, Really super photo of the Cardinal. You sure can't beat the afternoon or morning sun for bringing out colors. Great Job!!

Guest - Nov 13, 2006 03:03 PM EDT
Thanks for telling me about the saturation Don. You're right, I would never have believed you! We don't get birds like that in England, so forgive my ignorance in asking, but how big are they?

Guest - Nov 10, 2006 11:05 PM EDT
Superb shot. Such a deep red.

Thank you Anne! I'm glad to see your comment. I agree, they do seem to bring happiness :-) Don

That is a redbird that you really notice. Must be what they call "A blaze of color!" I think they make people happier just by their brightness. Great shot!!!

sure will, Don (trade a few stellers infact, for one cardinal :) I've said the same to Carol.

Guest - Nov 10, 2006 04:02 PM EDT
Thanks Carol and Alandra. I think your Cardinal shots are great Carol, the females are'nt very colorful. I'm sad you don't see cardinals Alandra. I'll trade you 2 cardinal for 1 Stellers...lol. Thanks again, Don

Wow, he's gorgeous! Great shot, Don! I'd love to see a cardinal, no matter how drab they might be :) I agree, that certain late afternoon lighting and sun does or can enhance the colouring, have noticed it with several of my heron shots and the steller's jays.

What a gorgeous bird, mine looks drab next to this beautiful red guy.I havent seen ours for a couple days and I do watch for him or her, mine might just be a female. Great photo! Carol

Thanks Mary and Steve, I haven't be able to get on the computer much in the last couple of days. I'm way behind on leaving comments, I'll catch soon up I hope. Steve, you won't believe me when I tell you. I did fool with the saturation on this one, I too OFF 5%. His color was and still is unbelievable. I think it was the afternoon light. It was late afternoon and very bright out with a clear sky. He was facing directly into the sun. There were 2 males there and they were both this bright. Thanks again, Don

Best cardinal so far!! Are you sure you didn't play with the saturation, even a little bit?!

Guest - Nov 10, 2006 11:01 AM EDT
