Crap did I miss the red competition again... bugger I had a great image for it but this one is awesome. Beautiful details on the bird. Great depth of field. I thought I saw some of these in Hawaii but I thought they had more white on them? Over all nice image, great job good luck!

Comment from WolfPause


Wonderful closeup
Focus is great
Color is bold
Nice capture of the cock of the head for emotion
Contrast is optimal
Composition is full - not easy to get with a cardinal

A stunning close up capture of this beautiful male Cardinal.
Focus is absolutely perfect - every feather can be seen.
Great color.

Beautiful capture of the Cardinal. His color is beautiful very bright and vivid, with the black as contrast he makes an impressive fellow. Focus is very good sharp and clear with good detail in the Cardinal's eye. Good initial impact, nicely cropped and placed in the shot. Very good presentation. Thanks for sharing

Comment from vulken


First of all, great title. I think it adds a lot to your image as a whole. Secondly, the initial impact is strong because of the great detail you captured in the shot. He certainly did pose for you. The colors are striking. We don't have any birds quite as solidly bright as the cardinal. The background is a great contrats. Very nice image.

This is excellent. Well composed and presented with a great centre of interest and enourmous impact. The colours are superb and the light good. Exceptional focus and dof showing a very good technique and ability.
