great title! it plays perfectly off of the body language and even the shape of the cardinal's beak.

From the texture of the wood to the detail in the feathers and the narrow DOF, this is a great shot of a bird. When the bird is this colourful and appealing, it's even better. Great picture and I hope it does well.

Nice how there is no clutter in this shot. Not always easy with a perched bird.

Comment by macrothing:
8 - Very good color capture/retention/contrast, excellent bokeh, especially on the right. Criticism; 'if only' this were 640, likely would give it a 9. Difficult to discern at this size (not just because you've only gone 550, but just the restrictions/medium), but seems you have good detail in the bird, especially the upper part. Like to see perhaps the feet a little more defined. Possibly some slight 'light' issues on the beak, but difficult I imagine to adjust, re contrast issues. If perhaps you could have adjusted the angle, to get that bokeh 'dappled red' uniform, likely have given this something extra and made it an even better shot, in my opinion - still very nice as is (the bokeh).
