Hello Phillip.

Really like this one.

The whole setting just makes for a nice atmophere. And the rain against the dark background is superb.

A nice shot, they seen to have a liking for churchyards - I took a few last year on gravestones in our localy churchyard. A really pleasing composition.

Lovely! Really nice atmosphere. Blurred rain drops combined with sharpness of the bird, really makes it. Great capture!

cracking shot. The blurred raindrops really make this for me, coupled with the sharpness of the bird and the black background

cheers
