Great details, soft light, BG and the rain adds to it. Maybe a bit more room at the top.

Lovely Caracara.
The BG is gorgeous. The rain adds a lot to it. Agree about more room on top.

Ramon, Really nice details and lighting the BG is gorgeous! I love the rain. Beautiful!

[Tim Zurowski]

This is really stellar Ramon!! Great pose, colors and lighting. Also love the rain drops which add a nice mood to the image. BUT, most of all is that REALLY sweet BG. If I could ever bottle up a BG and take it with me, it would be this one. All around a gorgeous image :)

I love this shot! The background is amazing and the drops of rain just add to an already terrific capture!

[Phil Liew]

Great catch there Ramon. Lots of details etc as the others have put it. I know it is tightly framed but was it because you already had a full frame shot of it? To me the reflection off his eye really makes it come alive. Congratulations!

Hi everybody, here's a repost with more room on top, as this image is a full frame, I had to digitaly create more canvas on top, let me know what you think. Thanks!
