Very nice. Love the falling droplets, the wet plumage and how some droplets have collected on the bird. Nice, smooth BG.

It's a great portrait to begin with, and the rain droplets only add to the image. Great work.

I like the low light and the rain and how all the colors of the bird stand out in this situation.
