She almost looks like a fledgling. I'm happy to see a young female because the larger adults have so little red on them. Beautiful focus and overall composition. Congratulations on the awards!

You have achieved a wonderful perspective and capture of this Female Cardinal. The nice sharp focus bring us right into this photo with good lighting and revealing good details and clarity in the feathers and markings. Superb eye clarity. Perfectly cropped and well composed shot. Nice play with light and shadows adding depth and interest in your work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

A superb and charming shot. Composed with perfection with the perfect balance of rock, branch and bird positioned and framed for artistic effect. The colorings in the cardinal are marvelously natural. Focus is spot on that eye and the details and clarity are exquisite. A joy to view and review. Ed.

Love the composition of black background, grey-brown trunk and light white-greys and tan rock that add interest with support of the colorful bird. I also love the bird's expression just filled with attitude. Beautiful photograph. Reasons for my five star vote.

Grace,
A wonderful picture of this busy female Northern Cardinal collecting pine needles towards the construction of her nest. The sunlight highlighting her beautiful if less colourful than her male's scarlet Cardinal red plumage. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Cute and candid great capture!
Pin sharp focusing despite the low lit condition clarity...
A realistic painterly effect.
Monotone in earth hues looks realistically alive.
Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Trajan
Wow. That is a great shot. I love the detail in the face. The subtle reds and browns are really well captured here.
She looks like she is posing for you or perhaps feeling a tad exposed and caught in the act if you will.
Lighting is spot on and focus superb.
Well done.

You have captured this good looking lady so well, and it is fun to see her gathering pines for her nest. I also think the background is working well, and the bird is standing out from it in an excellent way.
Your photo is so sharp sowing really clear and well defined details in every part of the bird, and the exposure is perfect.
The format and the framing is very good and the bird has got a good placement off to the left. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Grace, and with an excellent DOF.
