I took this one a few winters ago in southern Indiana. I was at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge to photograph river otters, but it’s also a great place for birds. There were quite a few cardinals around, including this male (top) and female. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 460 with Nikon 1.4 teleconverter) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/125th of a second
I LOVE this picture….what an amazing composition. I have seen a male flitting around here and he looks so beautiful against the snow. I seldom see the females. I can see this framed is some cool contemporary frame and hanging in a light grey-painted room. Just beautiful.
