 My first submission. I've been a frequent visitor of the site, but never posted anything. We got our first snow of the winter on March 28th and I did a little shooting. This Cardinal made for a great subject in the snow. We'll see how the voting goes.

You shot the photo at the perfect time to catch the perfect posture of the cardinal. Good idea to use the contrasting snow to highlight this beautiful bird.

They do look gorgeous in the snow. I might have gone for a closer, less centered crop.

Composition is a bit boring. Detail is just not there.
