Apart from the beauty of this lovely Cardinal, I just adore the contrast of the lovely scarlett and green, they work wonderfully together. Thank you for sharing. Katie

The reflection in the eye of the bird is amazing. The sad part is the broken beak. Great color and vivid impact for the viewer

Colourful bird snapped nicely. The eye of the bird is very impressive. Lighting, colour and focus are great. Beautiful snap.

Fantastic and stunning portrait of the cardinal. Your focus is clear, sharp and concise with great clarity. I can pretty much see every feather. Love the bright red and you captured it wonderfully. The seed in its mouth really adds character to the bird. Framed nicely. Great job!

Such brilliant and extraordinary detail of this most beautiful bird! There is no other red in nature quite like his red. Can really see the feather detail here, and it is an absolute delight to view this full frame well composed image! Outstanding work!

This is an incredible shot you captured. Excellent technically, the focus, clarity and detail is outstanding. Not to mention the vibrant colours, the expression, and lighting, all above average. Well done.

Comment from IMAGELOVER
Excellent focus. You really have captured the color of the cardinal quite well. However, the top of his head is cropped out.
