He just glows, Ron! Beautiful detail in the red plumage and the pretty lichen on the perch. Superb image!

This image needs to be licked on to see the brilliant details, the dark green background make this male cardinal pop. Love the perch, congrats on this stellar image Ron.

Just about as perfect as it can get ! Great pose, bright eye, lovely branch with lichen, and a clean BG.
Perfect handling of the reds in nice light too.
I feel cheated with cardinals - in Ohio, where I grew up, nothing was prettier than cardinals against the white snow. Now they have migrated to Florida, to Texas, and even to Arizona. Not a ONE in California or Oregon, where we are now! Ratz!
