Getting wet whilst waiting for a space on the feeder.

Technical: Canon 1D Mk3, Canon 300 f/2.8 IS, 1/125, f/3.2, ISO 1250, 0 EV. AV mode

C&C always appreciated.

Thank you for looking

Looks a really dull day Tom, so you've done well to get anything at all.

Maybe a tad over-saturated (but I'm not on my ususal monitor so maybe me) but a solid shot for sure.

looks good to me, particularly for such a high ISO. Maybe a slightly slower shutter speed would have shown then rain drops falling which may have added to the atmosphere.

Nice... agree it might have been nice to have more indication of the rain.... They have just replaced my computer here at work, think I am going to have to calibrate again, I am seeing banding in the bg.....

Not a bad image I too see banding in the bg.

A nice shot and I quite like the colours in this one, but the banding is a little distracting and I am not sure what causes that.

Thank you all for popping in and commenting - much appreciated. To clarify the 'banding' is a small area of whicker work in the bg
