Back to comment: The lighting is nicely done but the crop is a little tight, making it hard to understand the context of the image.

Back to comment: The colors of the cardinal are really nicely done. The image could use a bit of sharpening. I̢۪m not sure how experienced you are with downsizing images but most images get softer and require sharpening after they are downsized to DPC size.

Back to comment and bump: I'm not a real fan of the high key look here but I've looked at this image at least 4 times. Something keeps drawing me back (it couldn't be that look of pure joy could it) and this image is definitely starting to grow on me. 7

Back to comment: You captured a very lovely pose; however, the post processing doesn't look very natural to me.

Back to comment: this image looked a lot darker on my laptop and it was hard to see any detail. Now that I see it on my home computer it has a lot more appeal. However, there is a bit more dark area on the left side than what is necessary to balance the image and if you would have posted this at 720 pixels as allowed, the detail on the right would have been much more dramatic.

Back to comment: You did a nice job with the b&w conversion but the image lacks a strong focal point for me.

Back to comment: The exposure is spot on and the post processing is good. However, having the statue centered really makes the composition look static.

Back to comment: A bit over processed for my taste. The brightness of the foreground takes away from the perception of depth. Or it could be that the contrast of the background isn't as wide as the foreground and therefore the background looks flat.
