That is one heck of a close up Jimbob. Love his handsome face and wonderful colors. Not the kind of shot one usually see's and I like it alot. Great job there my friend.

Yikes! Can we say Attack Bird! I know they are not all that big of birds but this one does have a look of being very agitated! Great closeup work Jim.

I wonder who was saying this, you or the cardinal, lol.
Watching this image, think you've made him angry.
Very good post Jimbob.

Looks like my St. Louis Cardinals trying to stay afloat in the pennant race. Stupid Cubs. I guess this Wild Card is our only hope. Great post and faved.

He might not have been happy, but you should be with this JimBob. What a great idea for presenting him - his little head emerging out of that bokeh background, with very limited focus. My one suggestion would be a tighter crop - if you could get rid of a lot of that neutral background this might be more powerful. I like it as it is though, nice work here JimBob.
