Excellent! what a great focus, details of the black face and eye, love the way this bird looks, I love Cardinals,,they are so loud and boisterous is their singing and so very distinctive in colour

Colorful capture. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this cardinal 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

Very nice close up of this Cardinal. Great detail on the eye and nicely composed. I am loving the perspective and the lighting is also spot on. Well done!

Very good entry for the contest. Lovely capture of the beautiful Cardinal showing off his bright plumage against the grass. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail in his markings. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Quite a nice bird shot posted here! Your cardinal is well composed and it's redness certainly meets the requirements of the competition. The exposure is good but in my view the photo is not sharp enough. Nice try though!

    Thank you very much for your honest review and your input. I did not realize un-sharpness, but will check. It might be caused by the required resizing, but could also being caused by the zoom used or the crop of more than 50%.

A beautiful photograph of this cardinal. The red is bright and bold. The green background complements it nicely. You can see close up details of him.

Definitely a great subject for the contest. Nice color, focus, depth and detail. You even got that spark of light in the eye. I wish a little more vastness was available to this little one to hop or fly into on the right. Great Entry. Good luck.

    Thank you very much for your encouraging review, your kind wishes and your input. There was some ugly dry weed which I had to crop off.
