A very nice series with good detail in the snow with a clean wintry BG. My favorites are 3 and 5. Female cardinals have interesting colors and the raised crest adds a lot of character to the image. …Jim
Agreed, the crest lift and over the shoulder look she’s giving you is really nice. Quite a personality there. Mainly on the shots of the female, I’d see about lifting the mid tones a bit and also brightening her eye. The snow looks a tad subdued in those shots so a global will probably work fine. I’ve only seen one Cardinal in the yard the whole time I’ve lived here (9 1/2 years) and so I’m a little jealous.
All are excellent! I’m partial to the females too – I always think they look like they are wearing lipstick. I agree with @Kris_Smith about raising the mids a bit on the females. I’m also jealous – we just don’t have them out here – so please keep giving me chances to enjoy them!
