i have been stalking a pair of cardinals outside my front door for the past few months. love this photograph, especially the desaturated nature of the background. not much snow on the east coast this year.

This was one of my favorites, and I just can't believe it didn't finish higher. Great photo in my opinion!

A little grainy and soft but good use of DOF. Maybe just needed a slightly faster shutter speed.
