Red

Too bad the Cardinals didn't make the Super Bowl! I've been chasing this elusive male (through my window) all winter. He finally sat still and was half on and half off the background (snow, and tree). I couldn't move...curtains would have blocked my view.

Guess I'll take this and continue stalking him!

    If it was mine, I might bring up some contrast, but it might take away from the image. It might be worth trying. He has a great look and stance.

    I never imagined you to be a self proclaimed stalker! :) But I am glad you do stalk, this is a great capture, love that little pose he is doing for you!

    Nice one - I love cardinals. They just add such a flash of colour especially in winter.

    Black oil sunflower seed. Lots of it. the more you put out, the more cardinals you'll see at the feeder.

    I like the strong graphic element with his bold red contrasted against the black and white.
