Description
Is this a “bird’s eye view” of a Cardinal or are you the bird’s eye view?
Date Published: April 26, 2025
Tools Utilized: Poser 13, Photoshop, ON1 Effects, Lightroom
This was a fun one and one I’ve had in mind (and my “notebook of ideas”) for quite a while. It took lots of trial and error to get the image to where it is now. The cardinal was easy to pose but figuring out how best to pose it was the challenge. I also learned that V4 poses don’t work very well with La Femme 2, but with a LOT of tweaking, I was able to use a V4 pose preset as the base pose then tweaked it some more to fit the scene. I actually rendered this scene with some medium strength depth of field but my plugin that removes the render grains actually sharpened it up to the point you can no longer tell that the background is blurred! I thought about re-doing the depth of field, but I think the cardinal pops out enough as-is.

Great render!!! The reflection in the Cardinal's eye is just like the real thing!

Thank you very much! I updated the shaders on the eye and beak to make them look even more realistic when rendered in Superfly. I'm glad it was noticed! :D

Very well done, Lizzie! It looks just great as it is. I'd love to be able to get my camera that close to a cardinal - one of my favorite birds. This is a pleasure to view!

Aww, thanks, Rod! It's one of my fav birds too. I think it's the Illinois state bird even? I see them a lot during spring and summer.
