Nice catchlight and good detail in the reds. The angle is a little steep and I'd take a sliver off the left. :toast:

Good catch light in the eye. A pretty bird and nice comp.

Jimmie,

I like the setting and that you were able to get some light in the eye.

Overall the image seems a tad dark, so I might lighten it slightly and then use some selectively sharpening on the cardinal.
