Yes, the male and female Cardinal, my favorite, with the beautiful, bright colors that show so well in the Winter. Awesome work, looks like they will fly any second. Like the ruffled feathers and great detail you have achieved.
So realistic, including the white Birch trees that fill the canvas. Lovely work, thanks for sharing.

A virtual sixer for charm, color, clarity & overall composition...
Fluid rendition with a fluffy feel.
Artistic creation.
Tall format works well here.
Fine features and smooth textures.
Exquisite compositional style...
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so very much for your review. I was a little worried they were too fluffy.

Comment from Trajan
Very nice and well done. You have captured it quite well.
The light/cold blue background is fabulous. Captures that crisp cold feeling in late fall.
Cardinals are amazingly beautiful.
Well done.

A very nice winter scene with these two birds. I like the details you have on the tree branches. These birds are quite plump. Good luck in the contest.

Yes, they are. I was trying to show how they plump out their feathers in the cold. Thank you for your review.
Comment from karen zima
This is a lovely artwork. I love the pale blue background with the white birch trees. Both of the cardinals are looking at something, which adds mystery to the piece as you are wondering what they are looking at. I like the position of the birds in the composition. Nice work. Good luck in the contest.

Oh, Karen, I am thrilled that you took the time to review my art! Thank you so much for your kind words. I struggled with this piece and put it away for several months. When I saw the bird contest I decided it was time to rework it. Glad you liked it.
