Absolutely stunning! A really great capture and the details are fabulous. She looks like she is checking out the neighborhood. Quality is superb.

Terrific lighting on this.
Beautiful richness to the colors coming through. Nice composition. Great focus and clarity on this close-up.

An excellent photograph. The sharpness in the eye make your photograph. Very nice colors and nice contrast. Excellent cropping. A job well done. Take care.

Awesome capture of this bird. Very sharp, catching the head cocked back at the angle and seing the seed in the beak. Beautiful bokeh behind the shot, very pleasing, best of luck in the contest. Shirley

Fantastic capture! Love the lighting and sharpness. Wish the top of the head were a tad sharper but beautiful overall work! Love it!

Great Work! The colors of the feathers are spectacular! Cardinals are beautiful and remind me of love. Love the detail that is seen around her eyes.

Beautiful shot with good focus and rich color. Your composition is perfect. I found your notes interesting. I thought that in most bird species, the male is the colorful spectacular one while the female is colorless and drab. Given this example, clearly this doesn't apply to cardinals.

    thank you so very much! The beauty is not seen this clear until you get this close! The male is very beautiful, a briliant red!
