Denise,

You know what I notice most about this image, the clean colors, the Card looks just like it should!

Course the HA and details are really super nice too:)

Beautiful specimen Denise.Good and sharp with very good detail . love it :)

Lady Denise,
I like the composition and pose. You have very good color rendition with sharp details...Love the baby blue sky...You also have good eye contact with a sharp crystal clear eye...well done...for my personal taste; I would add just a tad of canvas to the left, to give the tail just a tad of wiggling room...:D:):cool:

I like it a lot Denise Those cardinals are usually over cooked in the red channel. As presented would add a few points of black in selective color for a little punch (no saturation) Looks mighty fine. Oh could add a little canvas, just a bit tight !!!

Hi denise:

What a lovely bird! You did yourself proud, Young Lady.

A real pleasure to have you share this beauty with us.

Good job! Good light, sharpness, eye contact and position. A bit more room in the tail area would be good but the image is very nice as it stands.

Colours and sharpness look great as usual Denise. Reds look VG too.
