Nice on black. Really like the bright color of the male cardinals - especially in winter - If I remember last year, they soon become rather straggly looking
This is a very pretty capture of this handsome male. What I really like about it is the detail you captured on the feathers. I'm surprised at the amount of gray mingling with the red. Cardinals acquire their color from the foods they eat. Carotenoid-rich foods are responsible for their red, and it doesn't seem he's getting a carotenoid-rich diet for whatever reason. Very interesting.
