I like it but it could have been better optimized. Most digital cameras over-saturate the reds. I cropped, reduced the red SAT, Patch Tooled out the vertical branch, and sharpened the face. Not many pixels to work with...

Love the background and the soft light.

I like the re-post particularly the tree removal !!!! Fine image John I like it a lot !!!

[Jim Poor]

The only change I could think of would be to move the bird higher in the frame, but I'm odd like that ;)

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Very lovely capture John and the BG is beautiful. I really like the repost too !!!

[John Zimmerman]

Thank you Arthur. I like your repost. The blame for the over saturation is mine, not the camera.

[Daniel Cadieux]

The removal of the tree trunk was the biggest improvement for this photograph. The cardinal looks great against the gray BG!.

I agree. I guess I am odd too. :)

Best,
