Comment from Kathy Banich
An incredible shot, especially reading your notes and acknowledging it was taking through a window. Good for you! I'm amazed at the level of "Sharp" detail you achieved in the Cardinal. I'm not familiar with the AI tool in photoshop. Honestly, I feel like the world and all of its advancements are leaving me behind. All have to read and learn about this generative expand AI.
A lovely entry for the contest and so fitting for this time of year.

Thanks so very much for your time to review, greatly appreciated! The AI based content aware tools in PhotoShop are fairly easy to use but sometimes deliver some wonky results. This one just happened to come out looking normal. If you would like some basic ideas as to how they work, just look them up on YouTube. Tons of instructional videos.

Congratulations on your win! Beautiful image of this Winter Cardinal. The clarity is wonderful of his eye, feathers and red breast. Colours are natural and your image is well composed!

A very lovely visual presented here at this male cardinal sitting amongst the branches. composition shades tones colors, and background highlight him in a very pleasing way. Excellent photography. Thank you for sharing.

This is an excellent shot of the male Red Cardinal. They are beautiful birds and you have captured him beautifully. Focus id great showing details of his feathers and beautiful color; but also the focus on his eye his spot on. Good luck.

Comment from Mark Lovegrove
Great shot but in my opinion this is an over cropped image, not showing enough natural environment and not enough room in the direction it is looking. The background is stark and dull. Good focus, texture and clarity of the Cardinal. Thanks for sharing :-)

I agree, the background is not bright and colorful, to be expected in middle of winter with the dormant vegetation. I chose to leave the background in naturally appearing colors to accent the intense red of his plumage. Perhaps I will rework this one and liven up the dull tones.

What a beautiful scene of this Northern Cardinal. I love the focus and angle showing clarity of the details of patterns, colors, and textures of his plumage. Excellent framing placement and lighting, too. This is a sharp image and is a great entry to this Bird's Contest. Wish you all the best.
