Captured this handsome fella this morning, with the same lens, and converter combo.

I have not seen that many cardinals, and when I have they have been so darn quick! Finally this guy was just enjoying the goodies too much I guess.

This has been cropped, flipped and I cloned out some of the seeds around him.

Thank you for commenting.

That bright red colour shines against the white snow. Lovely shot of the beautiful cardinal.

These shots are through a window, right? Is this a roof top outside the window, Sandy, or is he at some distance? I ask because I can only get close enough to the birds if I hang out the window and then, of course, I scare them away! lol You are getting some really nice color too. This fellow really stands out. Glad he stayed a bit to let you capture him.

Cardinals are very industrious Tigz. They can take the flipping, cloning, cropping and filtering with the best of them. I really like the bright red coloring.

I have found out that male Cardinal's are very elusive & quick also ... more than the female. I like how the bright red contrasts with the blue tinted snow. Beautiful capture Sandi.
