sorry not to have a 6* availaible anymore for this fantastic close up; the vibrant red color is amazing and the focus pin sharp

This really pops red.

Good presentation, center of interest, and very vibrant color as well.

I love the color of the bird, and how the bird is making direct eye contact to the camera. Wonderful story telling!

Very nice up close shot of the cardinal. You captured the red colors nicely and awesome details in the beak and eye. Cool shot capturing it with something its mouth. Love this photo.

Fantastic shot of this red bird. Would be interested to know whether you zoomed in on this or did you use a macro lens? Focus is excellent showing up all the detail in the beak, eye and feathers. I like your framing and perspective, showing a more or less profile view. The bird's beak is partly open with a seed between the two parts. The plain green background compliments the red and black colours. Good Luck in the contest.

    Thank you so very much! I was very close and used a 300mm lens. I cropped in even closer.
