Hi Dave, I like the background. I also like the streaks of rain. If it were mine I would tone down the beak a little. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture, I like the eye contact and mood. Ideally, 1 or 2 more f stops might help out on the tail, and maybe even bring more subtle rain into the shot?

Thanks you all for the comments. I really appreciate the feed back. Dave

I am fine with the dof. The rain drops are somewhat distracting as they are so varied, one sharp, one soft, etc. Lots of smaller rain streaks would likely have been more effective. Nice BKGR.

Thanks Artie. I'll remember the tip!
