This is nice up close photo. I like back gound color, it goes so well with the colors of the feathers. The feathers are so clear and look so soft. I can see just the start of the birds wings, they look as they would be beautiful as well.

Excellent close up of the cardinal. Great view of the eye and very nice detail in the feathers and beak. The colors are lovely, nice contrast, lighting and focus. Good luck in the contest!

This could not have been a more interesting and colorful looking bird. I like the orange in the bill and the wings. The tuff of fur on his head is unique. Very nice. Pat

This is a beautiful close up photograph of a female cardinal. Even though she is not as bright as the male version, she still has wonderful looking tone to her feathers. The focus is super sharp. The neutral back ground provides good contrast. Good luck in the contest.

This is a gorgeous picture of this beautiful bird. The detail and the close up are excellent. I like the way she is turned like she is watching you to see what you are doing. An excellent picture in every way. Good luck in the contest.

This is an excellent close up, rich in detail, nicely composed and just the right balance of color. Cardinals are one of natures finest in their display of bold color.

How do you tell a boy from a girl bird - the usual way? I love the color on this one ad it's a very distinct photo - love it!
