This is a wonderful up-close picture of the female cardinal.
like seeing her eye and brightly colored red beak, and how we a more bits of red on her head, around the eye and wing.
Nice angle giving us this point of view.
Your focus is very good showing definition to her feathers and the kind of soft texture they have.
Nice to see the hardness of the beak in contrast.
your light is very nice, focusing in on her faces and chest, and having the back and wings in shadow. There's a glo around her that helps to bring her out.
Nice shadow frame.
Good placement in the frame with enough space all around.
skillfully done.

Wow, what a stunning shot. You've captured great detail in the feathers and textures of this bird. The close depth of field doesn't allow anything to distract from the subject. Very well done!

You can see every barb on every feather, and even the ring of tiny scales around the eye. The composition is also fab, with the hard, bright red beak really set off by the black seed and the bird's soft and subtly tinted plumage.
Outstanding work!

Once again your picture popped up! You already know I love all of your bird pictures! I think you bribe them just to get awesome pictures!
Love the color and how you darken the edges. It almost look like a painting! Good job with this picture and I am very proud of you!

Amazing! The only reason I am not giving a 6 star is because I don't have any left. Your focus is perfect and your colors go along great with the other colors and lighting. I like how the background is out of focus so viewers can keep focus on the bird. Amazing job!
