Wet One
Rain can ruin your hairstyle. I think I was even wetter than he was.

All C&C welcome.

Nikon D300 with Nikon 80-400 mm/F4-5.6 at F5.6 and 250 mm. 1/125 sec, ISO 400, EV -0.67.

He does look fed up! Great capture. Is it straight or just an illusion?

Super shot, really doesn't look too impressed! Have you done some work on the bg to the right of the post? Maybe a slight rotation to straighten the post and bird a little, no big deal though.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Well seen and caught. He looks proper miserable !

Saturation in the BKGR I find a little strong and the streaks or rain I really like.

Cheers

Well captured, nice work :wink: :wavey:

I tried straightening the shot, and thought it lost a bit of character.

I darkened the BG a little as there were some OOF whites there that I found distracting. Perhaps I overdid it.

Thanks for the comments guys.
