Nice color; good exposure on the difficult reds. Good singing pose as well. The OOF white spots are a minor distraction.

Excellent catch with the guy singing loudly. Fine colors in the cardinal and a nicely complementary background. The oof highlights don't bother me and I like the leaves coming in at the bottom.

Great timing Jerry - to get him while singing. Nicely exposed and strong composition too. Conveys the warmth of spring very well!

What a great shot of this singing Cardinal! I love the pose you captured and how you photographed him against a clean background that includes some nice bokeh. The sprigs of greenery along the bottom add some good interest.

Great singing pose, color, details, and I also think the new leaves along the bottom add well Jerry.
Only suggestion I have would be to remove the small faint intrusion at the top edge, above/behind the card.
Well done & have a great weekend
