Great shot. Love the detail on the cardinal, and the other bird peeping around the corner is just priceless.

Good title :)
Like the bokeh

The bokeh here is really nice, but I think the cardinal lacks a clarity that would really make it pop.

Very good.

Back to comment: The colors of the cardinal are really nicely done. The image could use a bit of sharpening. I̢۪m not sure how experienced you are with downsizing images but most images get softer and require sharpening after they are downsized to DPC size.

I would like to see the color stand out a bit more, good pic!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The two birds talking to each other makes this image. Your choice of DOF is very good for the situation. I like the colours also, all warm, the reds against yellows and browns. What doesn't work so well is that the picture doesn't look quite sharp (and this kind of picture really needs to be razor sharp to work). Also, it would be good to throw just a little bit more light onto the eye of the bird in front; as it is right now, the brightest area is right behind the eye, on the feathers, and it makes the eye look dull.

The title is funny but the photo is rather bland without it.
