Those are some lovely cardinal photos. I really like the separation from the background in these shots.
dseigel, the female cardinal in particular is outstanding!

so many beautiful birds, time for ugly ones. Taken on the same day trip as the road pictures.
I cropped out the mangled opossum they were fighting over.

Taken in my front yard a few minutes ago. The asphalt driveway and grass make a natural gradient for the BG.

Beautiful shot. The background is great... you would never know the upper part was asphalt.Originally Posted by Joel Eade

Thanks Pat! Here's one from today at the same setup
Joel - It is hard to get better than that.

Thought I would post one last bird photo in this thread. It's not one of my best but these were one my favorite birds to photograph. I never even saw one until I started photography and was thrilled to attract them to my backyard in the spring.

I'm just catching up after a couple of weeks off-line in Chile.
Nick, those shots of the gulls from a couple of weeks ago are amazing.
Joel, I always enjoy the quality and clarity of your bird images. I can't wait to get my hands on a lens like that.
Denise, I hope that's not the last bird photo you will be posting. I really hope next year turns out better for you.
Now for some pictures of birds from Chile. I think most of these species are new to the forum
