Love This One! Amazing close-up. The details are magnificent. The sharpness and emphasis on the eyes gives this shot a WOW element. The colors, composition, and overall balance are great. You can be proud of this one! :)

Really awesome shot of this cardinal. I'm curious about his catch light. Is that the sun or did you have a flash near enough to him to show up? Fantastic detail and interest. Great contrasting colored background.

    Thank you so very much! No flash. All the light is sun. I have used flash before to turn the background black.

This is just fantastic!! The detail and definitions of the bird is stunning!

If I were the judge this would win any competition, love the dark green backdrop this really pushes the gorgeous reds and blacks of those feathers and I just love that catch light in the eye. No sixes left to give.

Awesome close-up of the cardinal. His eye is perfectly focused and the beak is still quite sharp. Difficult to pull off. Great detail in the feathers and a lovely green background. Good luck in the contest!

This is an awesome shot! I really love the color and the contrast of the shot!

The bird almost looks like it knew you were taking the shot.

Thanks for sharing!
