Reminds me of a halloween costume or a team mascot. Love the hairdo and the black mask. Very nicely captured and very sharp. Thanks for sharing. Cyn

This is a fun picture. The apparent smile, coupled with the "mohawk" hair cut, gives the birdie a great sense of personality. The soft background contrsats well with the birds color. Very impressive work.

Comment from Puddlejumper


Great photo. I love the 'mohawk' shape to his feathers. The texture in this shot is great. Good use of depth of field. Good job.

Comment from donaldcolson


what a great face. Almost looks like talking. Great color, sharpness, composition. However this part is so good I wish to see the whole bird Don

    Thank you so very much! if you see the whole bird you won't see the close detail.
Comment from Geokat


Clearly worthy of 6 stars but I only have 5. Incredible focus and detail on this guy. Great POV and nice capture of a great expression. Color is absolutely vivid.

Makes a colourful change from the sparrows and tits I get in my garden Willie.
I like the rich colours and excellent detail. Pin sharp as usual. I may have cloned out the small tuft of feather on the left (tail feather?)though. Mitch

Willie, you have captured the best shot I've ever seen of a Cardinal. It looks to me like you stirred him up. Great shot.

AWESOME WORK! Love the color of this bird. Very vivid. The open mouth seems to add some chatter to this presentation and I love it. Perfect details. Just plain awesome. Very well done.

This is a wild photo, talk about a "bad hair day".
Great focus, the clarity of each feather on his head is very distinct.
Great color, very vivid.
Very well done.

Comment from Suemartin


Ha ha, this made me laugh. He looks like he's had a real shock and you are right, he certainly is beautiful.
This is nice and sharp with a muted background, you can see each frond of his feathers. You have caught the catchlight in the eye too. very nice image.
