Lovely looking picture of the female, breading on the nest, Howard.
Very well spotted.!

I like your perspective shooting seemingly from the head level of the female cardinal. The orange bill and the catchlight in her eye helps to focus the attention of the viewer on the reclining bird with the contrast between the darker colors of the cardinal set against the lighter green background foliage serving to make the visible portions of the cardinal stand out strongly in the image.

Lovely sharp details and great contact with the eye - well spotted and well captured.

Excellent detail and exposure with just the right amount of fill and a nice catchlight in the eye.

How wonderful that you could get so close and even capture the twinkle in her eye. Excellent job.
