    Beautiful BG and fine detail make this a winner. Nice perch as well.

    I do like the bird, the excellent pose and eye contact, but I don't like the perch, I guess this bird is very pretty for that perch.

    Thanks for the comments Juan, Satish and Joe. I had picked this perch out for a bigger bird, the Blue Jay but I like the character it has so I decided to use it for the male Cardinal. Tomorrow I am posting the female with a smaller more curvy perch.

    The Cardinal is very nice, color & sharpness are really good.
    Another vote for a different perch.

    Beautiful pose and an ideal background. I wonder if the bird would look even more beautiful with a tad less brightness.

    I like the perch. I also agree with the other comments & I really like the raised crest. TFS.
