I can almost see the bird trying to say something. The eyes are so intense. Lighting was great. Colors are vivid and sharp. Seeing the feathers that are so perfect makes me want to reach out to see how soft she is. Beautiful job!

Lucky you to be able to have these beauties at your feeder year-round. We have blue jays and grosbeaks, but no cardinals. Thanks for sharing and good luck.

    Thank you so very much! You are fortunate to have the grosbeaks too!

What a beautiful rendition of this lovely bird. Detail in the feathers has been handled well.Perhaps f8 might have stopped the head feathers losing detail,but that is just a guess. Mitch

Hoe do you make out if it is a ;he' or a 'she'?Is it female 'coz she is wearing a lipstick!? :) Great looking shot. Fine example of bird photography. Your timing appears to be perfect and the picture is perfect in all respects. Good luck in the contest.!
Well done!
