John, this is quite a capture.
I love bright colored subjects on a winter palette and this Cardinal is a picturesque example.
Subject is processed beautifully IMO and comp is fantastic too. SS portrays the snow beautifully!

Nicely done. Got your Christmas Card all set. Lovely head angle, setting. Excellent exposure. Cardinals can be tricky to get right, and you've done it nicely.

What is it about cardinals and snow that makes everyone feel good?!
Everything looks great.
For my personal taste, I would like a looser crop bottom and right to allow a bit more room for the tail. I would also work on the brightest patch of snow on
the first lower branch from the left.
Really nice John!

I'm with Gail for a bit of a looser crop, but boy-oh-boy what a festive image! You can't go wrong with reds greens and whites for this time of year, especially when nicely processed!

Excellent work! I love the snow covered pine needles and snow always looks great in a Cardinal image! Great techs and job processing as well.
