My Cardinals usually are rather shy not affording many photo ops but finally got a decent isolated capture. Just not the best background ... :-|

As always thanks for having a look!

Canon EOS 7D Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM

When I see reds like this, I say, it had to be shot with a 7D. :)

Beautiful.

Good shot, Toney. Our cardinals have the habit of hanging out behind branches, very secretive.

He posed nicely for you didn't he Toney....very nice shot.
I might be tempted as time allows to clone the shadow out of his breast, but that's just me...;)

Thanks for the additional comments!

The Bright Reds on these Cardinals can prove a challenge with the exposure sometimes.
