Hi Tim. Very nice shot of this cardinal. The fine details are showing and it appears very sharp. I like the red against that sea of green. At 1/160 with the 400mm were you tripod mounted?

This image is not what I expected and it's really cute!!! I would take a sliver off of the left to move the bird a tad to the left.

[Karl Egressy]

Unusual and interesting portrait. Well done.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the sharpness, alert pose and cardinal really stands out against the green grass. Well done.

[Iain Barker]

Wow that bird is sharp. I enjoyed seeing this fun image.

Surprising and delightful! The reds are very well-controlled -- you could even push them a tiny bit farther, but I'd use Saturation as a last resort. Many other ways.
