Darlene, what an exquisite image. Truly exceptional. The colours and DOF are super and beautiful presentation. Surely deserving of an award!!!
I haven't been able to comment for a while but I'm so glad that you're OK with regards Katrina.
My thoughts are with you.

We're fine here in Lafayette, not so to the east.....we have a son who probably lost his home in New Orleans, so very sad. But thankfully they were here with us so they are safe. Thanks Ellen. Darlene

Nice female cardinal Darlene!
They are pretty popular in our back yard. I love their songs in the evening. They can be bullies sometimes with the other birds.

Oh Darlene I'm so relieved to see and hear you are ok. Is all your family well and safe? Was your area hit pretty hard? It seems they have mentioned Lafayette often. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Almost forgot, this little cardinal is breathtaking, I just want to reach out and stroke her feathers.

Exquisite birdie pic, Darlene. This a beautifully detailed profile of this cardinal. The predominant reds and beige tones, makes this very special.

Absolutely brilliant, Darlene, and thanks for bringing this image to the screen! And into my favs. (7).

Wonderful shot of the Cardinal, Darlene. Every feather is sharp and the out of focus background makes her stand out! Well done, as usual. Larry

Such a great job Darlene! We don't have cardinals here...I wish we did. But, even if we did, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to capture them like you do. I can't seem to get the hang of photographing birds. My hat is off to you!
