Absolutely stunning! I think I like this one even better than the other, as hard as that is to comprehend. Not a nit in any way, but I don't think the rain streaks add anything to the image and would clone them out.

Stunning is right; the weather conditions really helped saturate the colors. The comp. is perfection.

Hi Peng,

This is absolutely beautiful! I love the opposing diagonal lines created by the perch and by the bird. This guy is like a jewel.

Thank You all for your comments. Yes, I also find that the rain streaks did not add anything to the image, I was hoping for a heavier downpour to bring out the effects but the drizzle stopped.
