This was a rainy day in Phx, which is unusual, at the zoo.
Had to use flash often, but didn't on this image.
Please comment.

Hi tom

I like the rain and that prominent eye Sure wish the wing was not overlapping the bill !!! Would also have liked a little more room for the virtual feet !!! Excellent feel !!!

I like this a lot Tom, despite the fact that the wings partly obscures the bill. The rain makes this!

Love the green on the head, speculum and BG - the flying drops add to things. The motion of the wings is nice and the plane of focus perfect. I would be tempted to crop a little off the right and run some noise reduction on the BG
