I liked how this cardinal perched on a short plant stem to keep out of the snow in our backyard.

Wonderful light and I really like the visual effect of the perch sticking out of his feathers. Seems a bit crowded in the frame however, not sure how much you cropped this but I might have left more canvas on all the margins and a little more even on the right.

Different and a real frame filler, love the way the perch is lost in it's puffed up pose.

Great capture of the red of this beautiful Cardinal. I like the perch. The background is a bit busy but we take what is presented, right?
