If only the Cardinal were sharper in focus, this shot would be perfect.

I was checking out your profile following up on the milestone thread, and realized this was your image. I believe this is a surprisingly low score; I had this image ranked in my top 10 and had given it an 8. I think it's quite lovely, and I admire the unabashed way you celebrate the common textures of the Background and foreground cloths.

Oddly enough I put some daffodils in "Something New", and they did pretty well. But of course mine are in the field, not a still life.

Congrats on your milestone!

4 - Tough one. Fairly good capture and unusual with the pinks.. but for the Challenge, that's one of the first things I see is the colors, and the green isn't as dominant with the cardinal as I'd like to have seen. Opportunity capture, so little to be done, including sharper/more definition on the cardinal's beak/face/eyes. Unusual though.
