I find the females to be pretty in colors despite their competing against the gorgeous red of the males.
You have a sharp close up of this pretty lady G ~Lu.
Camera techs are spot on showing fine details and Controlled Exposure.
I like to see more light in her eye, so I would suggest tracing the eye..then Lightening it a tad more ;)

    It's the most important part of wildlife Photography. I at least help out and tell the truth.

I'm so glad you caught this little girl. The flashy boys get all the attention in the bird world. This is a very nice portrait of her, super sharp and perfect DOF.

A cute up close & personal portraiture...

An artistic rendition. Monochromatic colors...save for the striking red beak!

Excellent details & features. Impressive plumage & textures.
Subtle illumination.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

Oh such good notes Grace! You go girl...lol...and a wonderful image of this very pretty little female cardinal!

Nice crisp focus...she's detailed so nicely. Your colors are perfect.....natural....nothing over worked. Love the bit of sparkle in her eye. It is well exposed and your little square format presentation just gives us the best close up study of this little girl.

Your camera specs are always well considered. It shows in your animal images....this is another well done up and presented one. Love your animal shots and appreciate the care you take with them.

Deborah

a wonderful close up portrait Grace of this female cardinal;
when taking such a close up, the female has nothing to envy the male for the colors;
outstanding sharp focus;

I am a big fan of Northern Cardinals I have several that live in our backyard.

Super sharp camera technique. All aspects of this beautiful little bird is exceptional.

DOF is excellent for the subject matter. There is strong detail across the entire image. The eye is well described with a hint of a catch light.

Very well framed for presentation.

Thanks for sharing ... B-)) Bob

i can hear the Mrs. saying.."have you seen my old man! if he is not in trouble he is gonna be!" lolol. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the female cardinals facial is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

back ground is good nice and simple so it makes the cardinal the star .
like the fine focus and detail in feathers -eye- the red beak - and the top not red feathers . colours -focus-light-frame- all make an enjoyable view thanks

A beautiful close up of female cardinal. I can enjoy her beauty because of the clarity and the low light that keeps details intact.

Very well done and thanks for sharing.
