Thank you for looking appreciate all C and C.

Considering the conditions I think you've done very well, great shot. I'm surprised to see him flying while that wet. You could perhaps consider lightly painting out the whitish diagonal stripe in the top right, but that's really nit picking on an otherwise fantastic effort.

I always love raining shot, and BIF in rain is even better :D
Good job getting this in the rain, love how I can see the droplets which add to wet look on the bird and the water trail on the left wing. Maybe less room on the right and more on the left.

Not your average bird-in-flight image! I really like this shot and appreciate the conditions you probably had to endure to get. I am in agreement about the white diaganol strip - otherwise the background colours looks great. There is some definite noise / artifacts in the background, most noticable at the bottom of the image - that will be a tough one to clean up and retain the rain drops...

I really like shots taken in the rain. It adds mood to the image. Good advice on the noise/artifact issue.
