Very nice close-up image of this cardinal. Great detail throughout the entire shot. Nice colors and very nicely composed. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the competition.

This is a great close-up of this fellow. Nice clear photo showing his large beak and starring eyes. I guess this is the female because of the sort of faded red color, Nice photo!

Such rich color and detail of this cardinal and the magnificent and striking macro make this a winner in every way. Great job Willie.

Great picture.

Everything is nice and sharp.

Red in the beak is bright.

The only thing I may have tried to change is the light reflection in the eye.

Thanks for sharing

Hard to believe that beaks come in the color. It is brilliant. Looks like he has a little orange lipstick and eyeshadow to match. Great detail here.
