Description
So happy that "Watching The Sun Set" earned second place in the 5/21/2024 juried contest "Cardinals - Photos or Traditional Art Only" held by the Cardinals Group. Many thanks to contest administrator, Debbie Youll, and to jurors. Congratulations to the other winners!
I'm beyond honored to announce that "Watching The Sun Set" placed third in the "All Natural Beauty Of This World" ' s logo contest "Giving Thanks" November 23rd, 2015. My dear old friend, Pip, whom I miss with all my heart (I moved ... hopefully he's fine!) did it for me again!!! My thanks to the contest administrator, Kate Ming-Sun, and congratulations to the first and second place winners, Joy McAdams and Elizabeth Lynne. Thanks, too, to everyone who voted for my image.
A cardinal peers through the gold and green leaves on an early May evening, watching as the sun sets on a perfect day. This is my little friend who waits for me every morning and who will usually come when i call him. He posed for me for quite some time as I clicked away with the Nikon D300 and the 150-500mm OS Sigma lens at 500mm. Shutter 1/400, aperture f/6.3, spot metering and iso 800.

Thank you again for your lovely note and of course for the honor of the feature!!! i will tweet the group!!!!
