Hi Willie!
She's a 'handsome specimen',isn't she?
Your nicely-presented Close Up portrait photograph of this pleasingly colorful female looks great in my opinion,my friend!

Hi Willie, Awesome close-up of this female Cardinal! Every feather is in perfect focus. Love her tinges of red and that big red beak! You even captured a nice sparkle in the eye! Great image for the bird contest! Very nice capture! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

Wow, Willie this is an amazing photo! Excellent details. I can see each tiny detail and this if fabulous. Excellent focus and clarity. Wonderful colors. Vibrant and remarkable. Cardinals are difficult birds to photograph but you make it look easy. Yes Mrs. Cardinal is a beauty.

An excellent entry posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable portrait view of that beautiful bird. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great shot and good luck!

Comment from Celyn1


This is a great close up of a cardinal. It is well composed and so sharp that you can see a reflection in her eye. Your use of the lighting and your composition are excellent too - good luck with it

Comment from Charlotte Morse


This is a beautiful photo for this competition!
You've got in nice and close, with great focus, giving us good and clear detail in his eye, beak and feathers - although a shallow dof has caused his back and crest to be a little soft, I don't think it matters at all as the essentials are so crisp. Colours are lovely and natural and the tight crop works very well.
Very best wishes for the contest.
Charlotte

Wow! That was my initial reaction Willie! She is a gorgeous lady cardinal! You have photographed her so well with spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear , her feathers, face and beak are well defined, her eye is clear and I like the glint!
She is well placed within the frame and is standing out beautifully from the soft green toned background .
Well composed and presented!
Wonderful entry for this contest! Very best wishes to you!

This is a wonderful shot of the cardinal. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and composition have worked out well. Good effort! Good luck!

Excellent capture of this beautiful female Cardinal. I love the pose you caught. Great camera techniques producing a lovely crisp image - I like the way she's turning her head and looking at you. The dark background shows her off well. Lovely composition. Best of luck in the contest. Suzanne
