An other master shot of yours!
Every little new feather detail is visible - she must feel miserable having been caught without a new hairdo LOL.
Thank you for sharing

Guess this is what you call right in your face Willie!! What a sweet girl and she does look a bit ragged looking although the end result will be stunning! Nice crisp focus with great close up framing! Great eyes and feather detail!

Nice capture here of the lady with a seed in her mouth. I do like the lighting here and it does give this a very natural look!

Oh my goodness, I have never seen a bird this close! Wow, what a fantastic shot! To me she looks like she just came from the beauty shop with wet hair and did not let them blow it dry! That is interesting how you get the black background. Wish I had a big SIX to give you! This is really a spectacular capture!

So my initial thought was...what an ugly bird. Never would have guessed this one was a cardinal. Great close-up. Fantastic really. Love the detail and the clarity. Great storytelling ability and wonderful framing. The dark background suits it very well. Nicely done.

Great title for this photo. You have captured the detail of the bird well. Great initial impact. There is a bit of humor to your photo. Very good technique use while getting you shot and giving it the look it has. Very well focused and the clarity is wonderful. I really like the frontal shot of the bird. Thanks for sharing this Willie. I enjoyed looking the photo over.
