Mama Cardinal

They aren't as brightly colored as the males, but I think the female cardinals are neat in their own way.

Oh, I know- I should have titled this "Mama Cardinal about to be attacked by an extraordinarily elusive 1) Hawk, b) owl, or c) eagle." (take your pick).

I'm still looking for that rascal!

i like it. a couple of things that you can try are:

1) noise reduction
2) maybe make it a bit less brighter to make it pop. you can use levels or curves for that.

Great shot , the pose is excellent. I agree with Snir about the adjustments .

I rather quickly tried a couple adjustments. I'm not sure if it looks a whole lot better but I hope so. I think I see things differently than they appear on most screens. A better monitor is up there on my want list. Thanks for the tips. I'll never learn without them!
