This is probably the best shot of a bird I've ever taken. I took it in 2019, but I wanted to take a fresh crack at editing. I welcome criticism.

It is a regular old Cardinalis cardinalis male. They're a little tricky to find, but they nest where I live. They're the loudest birds in the neighborhood and impossible to miss when you know what you're listening for. The colors really aren't exaggerated much. They're shockingly red. The background is a little distracting if I turn up the contrast too much, so I like where it's at now. I might take another shot with a parametric mask, but I like it for now.
