Your killing me with your Cards, really super color!

Personal pref only but I like just a bit more head tilt,still I'd be tickled pink with this.

Colors are just perfect Denise Difficult to nail reds Complementing bg and excellent pose !!

I admire the BG because I was shooting cardinals for hours today in VERY cold and windy weather and got some great shots but full of branches and twigs.

The colours on the bird are great Denise, you did a great job of removing the branches. Sharpening on the eye looks good too. If it is full frame would you crop maybe to make the bird bigger in the frame?? Just an idea.
