Nice capture of the cardinal. Love the bright red/black color. Nicely focused and lighting is good. Good angle for the shot. It looks as though he has a seed in his mouth.

I think your efforts paid off. This is a great photo of the cardinal. Excellent red contest entry. I love how the blade of grass follows his neck. Nice background too. Good luck, and thanks for sharing

Initial impression: Stunning. Excellent color contrast. Detail is superb. It looks like the bird has something in its mouth even. The tall piece of grass makes it look like you're peaking through at the bird. Thanks for sharing!

Great capture off the colour of the bird and good focus showing great detail.You can't help the blade of grass but in photo shop you could take it out.

This is a nice photo. I like the red color of the Cardinal. The focus is good. I like the lean of the bird with the lean of the blade of grass. Very well done. Birds ARE hard to photograph. You have done a great job.

Comment from raineyknightartwork


Initial Perception: darn that one piece of long grass it is distracting
Emotionally Charged: yes
Title: fits
Artist Notes: helpful
Creativity: challenging
Color Harmony: rich natural colors
Center of Interest: red and the grass that lines the back of the bird seems to take over the bird
Technique (category): Correct
Story Telling Ability: Yes
What Works Well? Depth of field, focus, and subject
Comments: difficult shot - nicely captured the catch light in the birds eye
Star Rating: 5.5+ cyber I am out of the real stars today -- sorry
Per site scale (6=Exceptional, 5.5=Professional, 5=Expert (no revisions necessary) 4.5=Above Average, 4=Average)

Thank you for sharing. Rainey
