Congratulations. No wonder you won with this splendid photo. If you were patient enough I am sure you could count the feathers. The red beak is really standing out, and the seed it is holding adds interest. Focus is pin sharp and the colors are lovely. Really like the tight cropping.

This is a really great close up of a female cardinal. I love the details in the feathers and that you can see the seed in it's mouth! Great shot!

This is just about as tight a photo as I have ever seen of our feathered friends. The detail in the feathers is superb. A really great photo of this kind of subject.

Willie, I feel like a broken record when I review your work, but it's always true: your images are well-focused, with rich, natural color, great framing and angles, nice catchlights, outstanding details, never boring in their treatment of the subject. You do know how to capture animals so well!

Thank you so very much! I always shoot the eye. I refocus on the eye every click of the shutter. Without the eye nothing will be good. Sometimes I may shoot Twenty shots to get one good, providing the bird stays that long.
