I couldn't think of a better opportunity to post this one. My birds shots are usually static side views. But, this one actually had a little raindrop action.

Hi James,
fantastic work with the raindrops, they really make the image. I like the pose and the clean BG; I might consider cropping just a bit from the left side to get the bird more off-center.

Congratulations upon the EP, a very fine shot. The rain adds a sense of movement and impact to this shot.

Best Regards
Matthew
