Beautiful and with personality. This one has something to say to the photographer! LOL. Love the texture of the feathers, and the clear, focused eyes. This is a great portrait, and shows the bird off perfectly. Nice work!

Comment from Lindsey_N


Interesting. I like the contrast of the red beak, black face and red feathers. Incredible detail. The bird almost looks frightened. I would have liked to see what was surrounding the bird.

    Thank you so very much! There is nothing close around him. The green in the background is blurred pine trees.

Wonderful photo. Great focus and clarity. Great initial impact and pov. Great frame. I think they are one of the prettiest birds. Great work.

What a good entry to the contest. Just love the mowhawk he is sporting. Great focus and detail even his little red tongue is showing. Like the crop and the fine detail in all his feathers. Great shot.

Very nice closeup of this cardinal who looks like a "Punk Rocker". I live in Florida & you just don't see any Cardinals here. The best I can do are red-winged Black birds, & an occasional Robin, aside from the wonderful water birds we have. Thanks for sharing. Grammysandy
