So pretty...and birds are so hard to get and to have such a beautiful setting is such a plus! Mary~

I don't like the bird sitting smack in the middle of the photo. Would have liked to see it offset just a bit to one side. "6"

Nice colors, but I think framing it differantly would help.

nice colors and dof, exposure appears to be right on the money. the only thing i'd like to see different is having the cardinal off center. 7

Sweet capture! I love the black of the (?)birch tree! Birds are so difficult, even with good lenses, to capture convincingly. This is an extremely successful pic (IMHO)!

very nice capture. i appreciate this very much. i followed a cardinal around in the woods in the rain the other day and got NOTHING for my efforts. :P good luck in the challenge.

This is very minimal, all green one red. Great shoot! 7

nice shot of the cardinal, red in the center if the image really catches your eye, hard to tell it's raining though

not what i would expect in this challenge but it works well.
The rest is very busy from the foreground to the background but the bright red cardinal just stands out, minimaly.
Nice shot!

Good capture. Rich colors, red and green. Would be better if bird wasn't placed dead center in the frame IMO.

the cardinal appears a bit oversaturated
 04/29/2005 10:17:38 AM
Great color contrast. It appears the camera focused on the bark instead of the bird. Photo orientation works well.

Very beautiful vibrant colors! Nice job!

I would have cropped everything left of the large tree trunk; and possibly a little from the top or bottom.

i think this fits the challenge well, I like the contrasting colors a lot!

the red is lacking detail but everything else works really well imo. 7

Perfect minimalism

Nice bright colours. The Cardinal really stands out.

Nice sparkle of red amidst the more neutral tones. a different crop might work better, imho.

Beautiful photo, I love it!

very centered composition. did you try other crops or compositions to see if any other would be more interesting?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 06:36:46 PM
great color
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good use of contrsting colors. It seems a little static with the center of attention in the center of the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 10:11:12 AM
wow what colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot of the Cardinal, however I think this image would have worked much better for this challenge had you used DOF or some other method to seperate your cardinal from the rest of the image, making the cardninal clearly the main focus of the shot. <5>
