Nice capture. Love the snow but the bird is a little too saturated for my tastes. Still one of the challenge highlights!
Post actions
Very nice photograph. The lighting, focus, colors, and DOF are great. A gorgeous Cardinal. Bump

I'm a sucker for Cardinals, and this one is outstanding. Beautiful bird, and perfect capture.
Post actions
The contrasting colors and DOF really make this a top notch shot! 10! Best of luck
Post actions
Beautiful bird, very nicely captured. The colors are outstanding and the photo is sharp. I would suggest cloning out the light speck on his beak (near his eye) -- although it is tiny, it keeps drawing my eye. A high score from me.
Post actions
Beautiful. Crisp, clear, sharp, colors are right and not over saturated. Top notch photo here complete with a catchlight in the eye. Congrats.
Post actions
8 - Nice colors, including control of. Wonder about a little less on the left and possibly the top, but your call.
Post actions
Fantastic colour and DOF-great shot!
Post actions
Beautiful colours, dof and composition.
Post actions
Nice and sharp! I like the soft background and the color. My only suggestion would be for a different crop- the way it is right now feels a little heavily weighted towards left of the photo and is taking my eye out of the image rather than in.

Simply beautiful!!! I really wish we had cardinals in Newfoundland. I have only ever seen one from a distance when I was in Ottawa.

Beautiful colors and detail...you even got catch lights!! Just lovely!

You've probably got enough now to make a calendar. Really does show very nicely, though there's the tiniest bit of blue fringing on one of the foreground branches.... :-) (Comment only, no vote.)

My favourite of the stationary birds. Beautiful lighting and focus. Nice amount of negative space around your subject.
