Willie,
A beautiful picture of this scarlet male Cardinal withe the light catching the sparkle in his eye & the shine on his scarlet plumage, also highlighting the green foliage of the bush/tree he is perched in. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Willie, your choice in f stop was perfect. All of the supporting vegetation is shown in high resolution and sharp focus.

The central position of the Northern Cardinal gives a fine and detailed look at this fine bird.

This is well composed photograph. You have a gift for composing nature takes, well done... Bob

Great shot, perfect for a Christmas card, just needs a dusting of snow. Nature has so many lovely gifts if we just slow down long enough to appreciate them.
