Don't guess I am smart enough to get a thumbnail of a lighter version. I have tried several times and it has me beat.

Well, it was another lesson learned in editing your photos. I liked the dark rich red color and the dark green leaves. Some thought the photo was too dark, but I know it is hard to please all on this because of the quality of the monitor that is used to view these photos. My monitor at home is darker than my monitor at work, so I can see what people are commenting about the photo being too dark.

Here is a lighter version: //www.dpcprints.com/print.php?IMAGE_ID=612472

I was inside a building, shooting through the window and captured this cardinal up close. It was difficult with the lighting in the room and the lighting outside.

Thank you for all of your comments.

bird looks a bit out of focus

There's a few major camera limitations here, so I'm guessing this is a tiny bit of a photo from a superzoom P&S?

Pic is a bit soft and dark throughout; some post processing might help that though I think the birds just a bit out of focus. I don't feel that the foreground bokeh really adds to the picture, either.

A bit dark and the cardinal is a bit too central in the image, but very pretty.
