Nice rich colors and detail. A little tight in the frame for my taste, but a nice perch and look back. Sharon

Beautiful capture. The back pose and nice head turn work very well. If I were to make one change it would be to tone down the upper left corner just a touch. I think it helps keep the eyes moving in the composition, but a touch too bright for my tastes. Nice image!

Excellent. I love Cardinals and this rendition is one of the very best I've seen.

Wonderful capture, head turn and colors. I do find the bright whitish (flower?) in the upp.Left distracting, maybe tone it down?
either way it is still a very nice image as is.
