Cardinal

The Kentucky State Bird. I was shooting on a very snowy day a few days ago and as I was photographing all kinds of different birds. I kept seeing the Cardinals flying in and out of the area. I wanted to capture this beautiful bird in an abstract, simplistic landscape, using only the snow and bird as the subjects without the distraction of trees or limbs.

 

Getting the exposure right is very important when shooting something like this. It is easy to overexpose the highlights.
