Now that some serious spring color even rivaling spring flowers.
I like the cropped shot best.

Cardinals always work great on this sort of selective color. Lovely

Who says selective color isn't natural?
I like the first one because the bird appears smaller but still grabs the eye.
We don't have cardinals here, so I always like to see their pics.
