Marvelous capture Ted! He does look fearless..LOL. Excellent color, clarity, and beautifully framed by the foliage. I especially love the tiny bit of water at the end of the beak, must have just had a bit of a drink. Well done and high marks!
I am still extremely busy with projects but hopefully things should slow down by the end of the summer. Please know that I appreciate you all and will stop by and visit your images as often as I can. My best to all my friends.
Sincerely,

Hot Dog ... What a shot ... Beautiful. I'm kinda ... sorta ... NUTS! about birds:)
Great pic Ted. Nicely focused, Nicely composed, Just a winner in my book... JOHN
Is this a real bird? If so... it's just an amazing shot. He looks artificial, so perfectly posed, but the colors are fantastic & rich. Really lovely work!
This is really good, Ted. I love not only the bird but the detail and colors in the branch and of the ...gosh, what do you call it....the outgrowth his feet are sitting in. Nice framing too. Good work.

Excellent capture of the male Cardinal Ted. I love the drop of water on his beak. Good timing on your part. The image could be a bit sharper, but for as quick as these birds are, I think this is proabalby motion and you did great. I am going to put your feathered friend into my favorites folder on my hard drive so I can run it in my screensaver slideshow program! Thank you for sharing this with us :~~)
