Very nice. Awesome shots right out of the camera. Did you crop them that tight? They need more room. Everything else is great!!

Even if they were bad, I would not say anything negative because I love all Cardinal pix. Great catches by the way!

I cropped to do away with what I believed as distracting - more of the feeder or grass and fence in the background. Thanks for your comments.

Number 1 and 2 would have been better with the entire tail feathers. Number 3 is great as it is. Overall they are great shots.

You had the same problem that I had. I wanted to catch a Cardinal with his comb/head plumage standing up. Nice shots.

Great expression on the Cardinal. It's nice when they cooperate by sitting around for a while. I didn't find the background to be distracting at all. You manged to catch him in his natural environment.

Only 1 thing I can think of: If you are trying to get the whole bird in a photo to make sure you get the whole tail too. Other than that I say good job.
