This is a beautiful male cardinal . Well photographed , nice side profile view.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear natural. You have brought out such well defined detail over every part of the bird, I appreciate the clear eye with nice reflective light.
The cardinal is standing out so well from the natural background .
Well composed in the vertical format. Well presented!

Sharp as a razor! Excellent angle, lighting and superb focus. An awesome shot of this Northern Cardinal. I also like how you have showcased its home environment with some berries in it. Beautiful. A refreshing scene. An exceptional shot.
