Angry bird in person

We have a collection of up to nine Red Squirrels, a dozen Morning Doves, one Blue Jay, and a pair of Cardinal, the male is one upset guy as he has a tough time getting food for his mate. Well at least that is my interpretation. Shot from my kitchen window, with the screen up, SX 50 set at 200mm. Did I mention the 200+ sparrows that flock in and out. Yes it was slightly PP.

Now THAT is one angry bird! My wife thinks so too!

You got a great shot of the bird's expression...I would suggest cropping the photo to better emphasize the bird. You might try cropping to fill the picture with the whole bird, then try cropping a second time around the head and "chest" area just to see how that looks.

Sounds like a lot of crop, sorry couldn't help being puny,
but I will try the cropping, sounds like a couple of good ideas.

GLAD you enjoyed Mr. HAPPY.Typical of Cardinals he just isn't conversant in human tongue, 'n I am even less talented in bird speak. I'll try leaving him note on steamy window.
