I really like what you did with these two. The lighting is soft. No harsh shadows. The cardinal is perfectly posed, I like the vignette. I like it makes very good eye contact and the leading lines are nice.
Also the grossbeak very well done, I like the eye contact and the pose a lot. The lighting again is very soft and nice. I like the colors on both, definitely a fan of vibrant colors in general.
Both have focus and center your attention to the bird very well. Me likey.![]()
