Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Interesting info notes!

Excellent choice of subject with a striking red coloration in great contrast with the verdant
background.

I like the seemingly thick impasto strokes creating a palpable texture.

Nice eye clarity.
Impressive plumage color saturation & the variation of hues as highlighted by subtle illumination.

Ideal aesthetic framing.

Thanks for sharing...

Very nicely done. I really like the pose of the bird and placement in the composition. The colors are natural and the background accentuates the main subject. Very nicely done ~ Steve

Wonderful digital moment! Beautiful color and fabulous lighting. I love the strength of the background movement - it supports this little fellow perfectly. Such a wonderfully artistic image. Thanks for sharing.

Cardinals are a favorite of mine and this one is just charming. The pose is great and the rendering is wonderfully colorful with the red and green contrast. Well done and a joy to view and review.
