Tough shot with those branches in the foreground. Composition is nice and the reds in the background echo the bird's color nicely. The cardinal looks a little over-softened - there is a lot of detail on the branch he's perching on, but virtually none on his chest.

I like all the bokeh flying in front of and behind the bird. He seems to be straing at you while you took this. :)

you cut his tail, the background is really busy and there are too many shaded spots on this cardinal.

Beautiful bird, pity it does not stand out from the backgound a little more.
