Liked the way the light hit this male cardinal's breast as he sat on a branch in the shade of a bush, he just seemed to glow.

He looks like he is posing for his picture. Great capture.

The bird, the perch and the BG are all top notch. There is a bit of haloing at the top of his head, easily cured. Since I am guilty of it, it's tough to say, but the subject is a bit cramped for space.

Your right Bob, the lighting here helps to elevate an already stunning capture, I love the headturn and catchlight.
