Barbara, this female cardinal is amazingly beautiful! Her hat is warm and pretty. The photo has everything to be one of the best. Excellent composition. Depth and focus. Perfectly taken, adjusted and presented! Shows the season clearly. Unfortunately, I am out of sixes again this week to award your beautiful work! My compliments! Pleasure to review, as always!

Your photo is excellent focused, exposed and enhanced. I am impressed by the sharpness and refinement of detail and the realism of color. The removal of distraction is sufficient. The diagonal position of the bird on the branch is pleasant to the eye of the viewer. The red beak draws our attention. The Cardinal is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Barbara
A beautiful picture of this female Cardinal puffed up with her crest risen perched in the leafless tree with the snow covered ground in the background. Her eye watching you closely. Beautiful composition framing and lightning taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Beautiful clarity on this pretty girl Barbara! It's nice to see superb eye clarity and white balance Controlled so well.
Your focus is sharp showing fine feather details.
I may have been tempted to clone out the two branches behind her back and a few blurred ones in front of her.
It's nice to see a fine Lady Cardinal capture from you.
Well done ;)

A very nice looking winter nature shot posted here! Your fine and central composition delivers an enjoyable view of your beautiful cardinal. Like the tuft on its head.! Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

What is nice about this is the subtle contrast used. The cardinal blends in with the sticks because of the natural colors. This enables the eye to see the vibrant redand orange hues in the feathers. All this is a nice contrast against the soften white grey back ground. The colors create a chromatic visual effective affect.

What a lovely image you have captured here Barbara. The pose is just right as is placement in the frame. The focus is sharp and the colors are true.

The white snow background serves to emphasize this female Cardinal. The twigs add a nice element of environmental accuracy to the scene.

Very nice work here Barbara ~ Steve

Hi Barbara, This is a great shot! I love how the feathers on the cardinals crown stick out. She has a nice part between them that''s more than usual. I think it makes the shot even more interesting. Great lighting and focus too! Nicely Done! :o) Nancy
