A cold frosty morning at the feeders was a perfect time to work with low-angle side light. Shortly after sun rise a female cardinal utilized a number of perches to show off here beautiful muted colors.
Here the light passes through her translucent legs and bill making them glow as if lit from within.
Don't get stuck in the rut of always shooting with frontal light and miss some of the best shots of the day.
gorgeous! she's almost batting her eyelashes at you, coy!
