A very beautiful capture - this orange red guy stand so well out with these white branches - he gives YOU a nice focus so you can get it on him too - excellent use of space , wonderful close up with excellent sharpness, contrast and lighting
I think the frame fits well and your shot has a strong visual impact
a good composition with an uplifting energy , thanks for sharing

Fred,
A beautiful eye-catching picture of the male Mauriius fody ~ Foudis rubra also known as the Mauritius Cardinal his scarlet head & breast standing out in stark contrast from the pale green of the bush he is perched on & the blurred blues & greens of the background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

How fortunate to not only see the rare bird but have him pose for you to enable an everlasting memory of the moment. Great composition and color with good blurred background.

What a pretty bird and so tiny too. I like the vibrant red of its plumage. It is interesting to note that it does not have the black face mask of most of the cardinals I have observed.

A beautiful little bird and a very fine shot of him. I like that shrub in which he is perched and the sharp detail in his face. His coloration is fantastic and this cropping is superb.
