Your female cardinal really is a pretty girl, especially as she is here with the nice blurred background in green hues to accentuate her colors. Very clear; feathers so detailed the viewer is temped to reach out to stroke her tiny head before she flies off. Very nice.

Yes, this is a pretty girl. Love the pose. The background color is exceptional with the soft (as in texture) tan downy appearance of the bird. Excellent close-up.

WOW This is a spectacular Closeup even for a 300mm lens you must have been exceptionally close to get this shot
As for this photo I also carve birds and this is the kind of image I would need to make the head as correct as possible, the colors and feather groups, shape of the bill every single piece is there
EXCEPTIONAL PHOTO

As always, your shots are nice and sharp and have superb lighting and detail. I like the crop and the catchlight in the eye. Donkeyoatey

What perfect timing to have this cardinal land just in time for a great photo. Beautiful focus with fantastic detail. I especially like the capture of her bright eyes. Great job with this photo.

This is a wonderful shot of this beautiful bird. Your composition and crop are excellent. I love seeing the detail of her beak, head feathers and a tiny highlight in her eye.

Your background is a perfect backdrop. I love the blurry green, it compliments the bird but does not distract.

Very well done.

WOW. This is a great initial impact image. You are so lucky that you can have these birds come so close to you. Very good clarity. Good texture in the feathers. Good artist notes. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
