Everyone likes the female Cardinal, but the male is pretty striking.

the bg colors are great for this male cardinal and you nailed the details well, the males are nice but I prefer the females.

Beautiful bird and background, Stan! Lovely look back pose and superb detail on this handsome male, while the splashes of colour in the background add a lovely bonus.

Very nicely done, Stan. A handsome shot of the male with striking background color, not too much, just enough!

I see that a lot, people liking the female. Not so in your face I guess. Still in my area I am amazed how little attention the Cardinals get.

Incredible, brilliant color- he's a handsome fellow! I like the light and hunched look. Well done!
