Very beautiful birds I have to say due to their bright red colour. Very good shot showing the bird's head turned to one side. Your framing is spot on and so is focus. Plain background enhances the overall image and compliments the tones in the bird's feathers. Good Luck in the contest.

What a good head shot of my state bird (NC), the cardinal. I do like the close up and he is definitely giving the viewer the eye. Great color and detail, focus and composition. Good choice of background color.

Thanks for sharing...

JB

He looks mad at you. The detail is wonderful. I would like to know the settings on this and what kind of lens you used. The lighting is perfect and the background makes the cardinal pop. Great job.

I think I can tell who took this. It is well framed and both colourful and detailed. I love the stare. Mitch

    Thank you so very much! You should know as you have seen my close up shots of birds before!
Comment from Photopeb


Nicely captured and I like how you were able to fill the frame. Well composed as you have him looking into the frame from the side. Good story telling ability.
Good visual impact. Sharp as a tack. Lighting and exposure coulden't be any better. Good dof and bg blur. Very good technique and high technical excellence.

Congrats!
