This is my latest Cardinal, a male this time.
I like the pose so processed a fairly difficult
(for me) image. Please take a look, and tell me
what you think. As always, I am grateful for any
C & C. Thanks.

Yea, male cardinals aren't easy to get them right. Yours looks overprocessed on my monitor I believe you need to pull some sliders back in your PP. Great pose anyway.
Socrate
Thank you, Socrate. I agree after looking at it again.
You are definitely right about Male Cardinals being
hard to do correctly. Your comments are much
appreciated.
Bob
You re-work was a nice improvement, also greatly improved the BG as well as overall color balance. A nice pose and a nice job on seeing what it took for the improvement.
Thanks Socrate, Ted, Lil J.,Karl, Brenton, others and Ken
for your help and thoughtful remarks. I am continuing
to learn how to process images....better...with your
help and encouragement.
Bob
Re-work works better. I shot a cardinal recently, and the image really benefited from the new camera profiles in ACR; you may want to try them if you haven't already. Reds are a bugger, but even the print was improved.
