Like it Jack, the rain against that lovely BG looks very good, what shutter speed did you use ?

There's no such thing as an unexciting species. Like this, just a touch of arrogance in the pose.

Hi Jack,

Nice portrait, I just wish there was more rain in the shot, not much you can do about that though! :smile:

Cheers,

Lewis.

No such thing as a dull bird Jack :smile:


Very nice shot as already mentioned could have done with a bit more rain though. Not something you normally hear in the UK :wink:

Any species is beautiful Jack, no matter how common they are especially when they are as well taken as this. Very nice.

A nice portait Jack, that dark background makes it work and the bit of rain makes it even better!

Hello Jack

Cracking portrait and the dark background and the rain really add to it.
