Taken during some rain showers. I tried to capture the green velvet type sheen on the neck area of the bird.

100-400mm f5.6, iso100, 1/125

Yet another image that would look great in 3D, my cup runneth over.

You've certainly succeeded in your endeavour as far as I can see. Excellent.

A beautiful portrait. If I am being really picky, maybe a little more space on the left would help.

Lovely portrait Ian, would a slightly slower shutter speed enhanced the rain drops better? Hindsight is a wonderful thing.... Still like it as it is.

Hello Ian.

Beautiful portrait and the rain and rain drops on the bird really make this a much more interesting portrait.
