Such a refreshing scene. I love the angle, showing that expressive eye. The colors are natural, resulting from a good camera exposure adjustments, and right settings. Softness of textures of the feathers is prominent. Technically strong and is well-framed. Six!

Comment from Dan Hancock
The detail of this bird is tack sharp. You even have some detail of the snow in front of the bird.The color is right on. You were able to get the a bit of catch-light in her eye. You may what to consider lightening up her eye in post production. Well done.

Great photo of this Cardinal! The lovely light and your excellent sharpness show great detail in the feathers. Great pose of her all fluffed up to keep warm.

This is very lovely LeeAnn! You did such a nice job with the exposure! The snow looks great and so do the lovely colors of the little lady. I appreciate that you didn't over do it with the saturation of the colors. You captured a nice puffy pose with great clarity and detail.

A very nice shot. I like the exposure for the snow and think this little lady is shown in very fine detail and great natural colors. Best of luck in the contest.

A beautiful picture of this little female Cardinal bird sitting on the snow covered railing watching you her crest feathers raised giving her a look of surprise. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Cute capture with puffed up plumage
and its Mohawk hairstyle.
Palpable coldness.

Sharply focused and subtly lit...

Nicely framed.
Thanks for sharing!
