Oh boy - you have excelled yourself. What a great shot - so close and so sharp. Great detail visible in the plumage and it really highlights all the nice markings. Is it another Cardinal? We don't get them over here. Well Done

Thank you very much! Yes a female cardinal.
Comment from goodfella2459
The best thing about this photo is you can see all the details in the bird. Well done.
The depth of field, composition, lighting & colours are all quite good too, but the details impressed me the most.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice close-up of this cardinal.
Colors are natural and pleasing.
Good composition.
Lighting is great.
Only thing I would like is a bit strong focus on the seed, have you tried spot sharpening?

Thank you so much! What is spot sharpening?
-
If you have a program like PS or Corel you can use a brush adjust the size and just sharpen individual areas --like the seed here because the rest of the shot is already crisp and might get white spots if you try to sharpen it.

I don't have these programs. Thanks for the info!

Okay, Willie, for the last time, please learn how to focus! Just kidding, Willie ~ you're terrific with your technique and technology. I love looking at your bird friends and see what you both have been up to.
Thanks for the artist notes, very interesting about how you make your suet ~ it seems to pay off! I love the background, too, in this, very interesting! Great eye and catch of her eating her supper ~ or is it breakfast?!
