Comment from Tony B


She was curious cause you look like a giant peanut, with a camera.
As always, striking detail, I have never been this close to a bird before I met you, I never ever knew the feathers are structured that way, well done my friend, well done.

Excellent shot. Great focus and detail in this photo. The dark background really brings the focus to the bird. Great colors and angle, it really stands out. I hope to see more.

The fine detail (due to the pin sharp focus) in the feathers is awesome. She is well lit and highlight in his eye brings him to life. You have brought her in nice and close to. Nice shooting :)

A Trully amazing close up of this Female Cardinal Bird. The red beak is an eye catcher & the highlight in the eye brings it to life. You fine focus shows us such minute detal I could given tim each &nd every tiny feather & each eyelash.
A True bird's eye view.

Holy Macro!! Now that's a close up of a bird's eye! Excellent sharp focus showing great detail and textures of her feathers and a lovely orange beak! How did you get so close with a macro lens?! Excellent shot!;)

My goodness, you definitely got close and personal with this girl. Your focus is amazing, so clear you can almost count the feathers. Beautiful colors, awesome details. Great job, good luck in the contest.

It's an absolutely wonderful shot. Such beautiful detail and an amazing point of view. I really like how close you were able to get us to the subject. It POPS right out of the framing with that dark background. Thank you for sharing

What a great shot. I am surprised you could so close. Lots of detail in the feathers with such a piercing eye. The beak is interesting too, having lots of tones of red/orange. Black background is perfect for this shot. Nicely framed and very good focus.
