Gorgeous shot. This is really nicely done. The detail is fantastic, and that really makes this piece. The colors are very vibrant against the soft background. Also great for this image. Great range of tones and the contrast between her feathers and shadows and the highlights are perfect. You captured a really nice photo here. Great balance. Good luck in the contest.

How pretty. You really did a great job with this image. THe bright colors really pop on this bird. The detail you captured is also phenomenal. Its as if you were holding the bird yourself. THe background is a great color. Really making little to no distractions, and helping to add a nice contrast to the bird itself. Thanks for sharing this beautiful photo.

Great portrait of this bird. Perfect pose, very nice lighting and the background could not be better and combined with a nice eye catch light, wonderful color, good composition and perfect selective focus.

This is a really beautiful shot of a female cardinal. I never knew that this is what the female looked like! Great focus, colors and framing. Nice job!

This is a wonderful shot of a lady cardinal. Tones are very good, textures are excellent. The lighting is well managed but perhaps a tad bright. Certainly not enough to deduct any points though. Good luck in the contest. Travlin1

Great composition and use of space. The focus is good and the details of the cardinal show up nicely. Lighting is good and initial impact is good.

Outstanding image!! The colors are so naturally brilliant and the focus is so sharp you can see every feather detail!! I agree with you on the female cardinal showing so many different colors looking much more attractive than the plain red male!! Your framing is perfect to display this beauty so closely!! Breathtaking!! Love the eye and your capture of the highlight brings her to life!!
