    Comment by 'STM' in media 'Female Cardinal'

    No, there are woods about 25m behind us, but at the time that this photo was taken they were not lit by direct sunlight. Also, the depth of field is very shallow so the background is very out of focus. I also used fill flash which more brightly illuminates the subject. If you look closely you...
