This is a great shot, I love the red in this guy.

Good initial impact, nice solid colors and great clarity.

Excellent entry for the contest, good luck!

Nice shot of this fellow- looks like you've captured him just before take off! The setting is wonderful with the pine needles behind and the branch framing the bird. Great color and clarity. Really excellent shot and composition.

Nice photograph, focus on eye looks sharp, important in this genre of photography. Composition is nice as well. I would have liked more if about two-thirds of a stop less exposure.

Really eye catching photo of this bright red bird. Lots of good detail of its markings around the face and neck. Well focused, good color and good camera techniques.

What a terrific shot! You must have been inside the tree yourself to get this great pic. I love the colors, with the pink in teh background... wonder what that is. Nice comp and perfect DOF to have him stand out well.

    I know it's a male cardinal.. was asking what that pink to the right might be. Do you know?
