Really like the sharpness and color of this photo. The BG and the streaks of rain help to make this image stand out! Not sure if the rusted wire adds or distracts, like it with and without. Thanks for sharing.

Great details and BG Keith, well composed too.
I especially like the parted beak and the rain falling through, well done! :toast:

How do you get them up on the perch like this? Very cool, Keith. I like the look from the subject. Nice to see what their feet look like too. :toast:

Keith, this is very cool as the only time I see these birds they are flying away from me. Nice detail and colors.

That is one goofy looking face. LOL Poor thing. Really nice image considering you got it from the car. I've never seen one in the open either. I like the head turn and raid drops.

Nice pose from this guy, with the head-turn and open beak. Fine detail, bright eye, and love the rain streaks.
I'd clone out the top part of the rain streak that looks like it's going into his mouth, jut to separate it a bit.
