By luck I had my 55-200mm lens attached when I glanced up and spotted this female Cardinal sitting on a tree limb overhead. Winter is not a good time in SW Virginia for bird photography. Thus, “luck” rules.
Great composition and I like the mood of the photo. I was going to suggest making it a black and white but I think the hint of color in the bird is what I really like. Well done!
