This is a macro to end all macros! Really nice shot of this lovely bird cracking the sunflower seed. I love the colors, the focus and ...well, everything about this! Good luck in the contest- I think you have a winner here.

Absolutely stunning. Everything about this photo is wonderful. Coloring, lighting, positioning. I am amazed. I also enjoy photographing birds and have yet to capture an eye shot so well. Great job and thank you for sharing.

Excellent photo I like how the eye reflects the thoughts of the bird, I also think you have captured the Sunflower seed about to fall from the beak, All in all excellent focus and clarity with good coloring. Well Done I like very much

A really well composed shot! The focus is her eye and her beak as she breaks open the seed and eats the inside. I love that persimmon colour around her eye and her beak. Well done, thanks for sharing my friend. Cyn

I looked at this shot yesterday and waited til today so I could award the 6 star rating that it deserves. This shot would be great for the Audobon Society.
Everything is outstanding and amazing to look at.
Thank you so much for your story and this fantastic shot!

Indeed, it's a wonderful capture due to timing and coloring. It's nice the symmetry of beaks versus the hull. Excellent focus. If I'll be able to enlarge the picture I think I could see you in the eye. Good contrast and sharpness. This deserve a better rating that I have but not for you...

Great close up of this Cardinal Very good detail. How did you get her to sit still long enough to capture this? Color, lighting, and composition all perfect. Good job.

Super cool. Love how zoomed in you are. Very sharp image - I can see every detail on this bird. Colors in beak and around eye are nice and bright. Very good job.
