Super photograph. Great exposure. Unbelievable focus. I can't believe that little ring of skin about the eye. I didn't know they had them.

I love Cardinals. (I'm biased. I've been a St Louis Cardinals fan for over 40 years, so they probably grew on me over the years). They are such pretty birds. And they make a pretty little chirp.

    Thank you so very much! That little ring is their eye lid! They have two, an inner and outer.

Nice work, this is prob one of the better ones, the dof is well done, but the color is what sets this aside, good catch in the eye

Wow, great shot! The colors are wonderful. Perfect clarity and interesting look on his face. This would be a great shot published in a magazine. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing, Keri

Excellent close-up.
You got such good clarity on the. We can see the definition of his hairs/feathers and beak so well.
Great color, of course, and the backround color works well too, although I would have preferred that that branches were blurred even more so it didn't look like they were coming out of his head..It's just that the backround pattern doesn't enhance.
nice placement in the photo, and like the angle you caught.

This is an exceptionally fine shot. Good tight frame filling view. Sharp focus, clean details and brilliant colors. A composition to be proud of.

Very nice close-up excellent focus and lighting show great detail on this fella. What a handsome bird. Nice blurred branch and leaves.

Comment from mamamary


How much closer can you get? The feathers are very distinct except for the top of his head. The eye is stunning. I think the lighting could have been a bit darker, but I can't find myself wanting to mark it down.

The focus is pin-sharp showing fine detail and texture, great color, impact, good use of the frame. So very well done..

Comment from tinybynature


very cool photo :)

good lighting here has brought out a very vibrant red and great details throughout your image

the focus is crisp

composition is good

i would have liked to have seen less glare on the eyeball as it takes away from the details that are there.

thanks for sharing.
