Another shot from my feeding station in France. This male blackcap was around most of the time during our few days there. On this particular day it rained all day and the light levels were very low but we kept on shooting like true pros only occaisionally nipping into the chateau for coffee and croissants
Hi John,
Another nice one with the soft light working really well.
Personally I'd clone out the single streak of rain just in front of the bird if it's the only one,but if there is more visible rain (hard to tell on a small jpeg) then I'd leave it in place.
Look forward to more.

Hi Justin, good point. On the full sized file there's clearly more rain but you're right in that you can only see the big streak on the small version.

A super image.
Nice shot and works well with the soft lighting. I would be tempted to cloan out the two small twigs!
