Yes, this one's pretty, too :)
Love it very much ! These warm colors are so pleasant for eyes. The bird itself is wonderfully taken. One can clearly see each tinny, little feather ... Nice work, rally :)

Love this shot! Very sharp, nice composition and extremely shallow DoF. What I really love is the texture of the feathers, great capture of such fine details

This is excellent. I so rarely see a female Cardinal and you're right she is pretty too. You've done an excellent job on all aspects with this image! Thanks for sharing it and congrats on All Time Best...this deserves it!

No doubt, this is a fiver if not more. Well done

I have looked at:
Initial impact
Story telling ability
Light and shade
Color
Texture
Technique
Composition
Focal point
Framing
Originality
All worth 5 stars.

he's a cute little fellow. the sharpness is clear and the lighting manages to pick up the fine details of individual hairs. very good picture and you were luck to get such a pretty guest.

What can I say-great macro photo. The birds head, eyes and beak are striking. Don't know if I would have the patience. Very pleasing to a nature lover and the photo seems alive.-HEK
