With the snow storm coming, the feeders were very active today. This female cardinal struck a nice pose and I managed to get a nice picture.

This is an excellent capture with a beautiful pose, and the details/sharpness couldn't get any better! Well done.

Thanks for the kind comments, sometimes I get lucky. Lots of activity at and around the feeder the last couple days. I even saw a wren there yesterday, he looked cold and well worn from the winter.


I will say I am extremely happy with my FA*80-200, I wish I had bought it years ago. Just some green or red fringing when I'm not careful with the dark on the white snow. The paint is beat up but the glass is perfect, someone used it a lot.
