I like this picture the best from your portfolio. The bird is watching you carefully as you snap away. The dimmed background is excellent. Only took half off as I want to see more on the bottom to equal your large space at the top.
Otherwise a brilliant capture. Well done.

What a nice view of this Cardinal. I didn't realize they changed colors. This must be a female?? Excellent shot with lovely lighting and detail.

good framing and focus.

I like the focus here, how the background fades away so their is nothing fighting for attention other than the bird. The birds colors are lovely. The simplicity is what makes this photo perfect. Great job

Intense color saturation.
Subdued illumination.
Excellent verdant backdrop renders a visually soothing & appealing backdrop.
A cute & candid capture!! A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious colors. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...

Very pretty!!!!! Cardinals are my favorite! You captured this one well. I love the composition - the bird sitting looking to the side figuring out where to go next. The colors are very natural and harmonious. Great catch!

This is stunning photography Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Beautiful technique , clear and sharp so nice. I have never seen a female cardinal up close like this ,awesome shot and zooming. Colors are not bright but gorgeous with the shimmer of light on her backside. Beautiful head colors and bright beak. Great capture of the fence and lighting and background brings out the photo so nice. Excellent job.
