Gorgeous light, Kurt, and I love the little head turn. Looks like there’s a bit of bird doo on the perch that you could clean up if you felt like it. The background works very well.
Hi Kurt
I really like the head turn and eye contact on this Arizona Cardinal, (I had to look up Pyrrhuloxia). My only nit is the stump seems to be very bright and my eye keep moving to it. Nice shot.
