A beautiful specimen in a great setting. The lilac bush makes a fantastic perch. I like the flat light and the warm color palette. A nice composition with good detail in the bird.

Grace, this is just a spectacular image of this young lady cardinal!
It is what I consider a "perfect" shot!
Details and clarity are just overboard here.
Your colors are so true and I can feel those feathers! Such a great image!!

Comment from Terry Loftus
The Cardinals sure are photogenic creatures. You capture the detail of the birds colors and wing and tail feathers very nicely. I love the way this is framed.

Beautifly captured shot of this cardinal, lovely focus, light and presentation. I really like the background and how it brings out the detail in the bird but are similar colours.

Comment from Dan Hancock
Tack sharp focus on the bird complete with catch-light in her eye. Good depth of field blurs the background to emphasize the subject. I wonder if cropping from the right (not quit to the tail and a small bit on the left might be in order.

Thank you for your comments and your suggestions. I wanted to keep the 1:5 / 3:2 ratio for printing so I didn't crop the right. Thanks again!

Understand.
Comment from Sean T Phelan
Cool,Grace!
While she lacks the strikingly colorful red plumage that the male Cardinal displays she's certainly a cute little bird,isn't she?
And your photograph of her looks Great! : )

What a beautiful natural setting for this Cardinal my friend! Wonderful bokah and point of focus which is tack sharp with beautiful details. Wonderful colors and harmony. Very nice initial and visual impact. Great lighting and exposure control. Excellent technique and high technical excellence.
No distraction to draw the eyes away from the subject. Fine job!

Paul

Comment from Lucas Sizov
Yes, she's very pretty! Not too much red, like a male Cardinal has. Her clothing is chosen very well by the Creator. Perfect placement of the bird in the image, clean and clear. The natural light is soft. The red color of her beak reminds me the bright color of momen's lipstick. Sharpness is excellent. Background is neutral. Great job! ! !

She is a pretty girl indeed! I love her pose and her position in the frame, she is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural, nice details in her feathers , face and beak and I appreciate that little spark in her eye! Well composed and presented!

Comment from Robert Plain
Looks good to me - I kind of like the subtlety of her coloring. Very nice exposure to bring them out and really nice detail in the feathers. Not to mention the nice brown background to bring the whole picture together.
