Hi Uri, good walking pose of the crane in the rain, and this shows his enviroment nicely. Although the light wasnt on your side, I feel bringing up the exposure in pp will improve this overall.

Lovely pose captured, I don't mind the darkness of the shot - I think it shows the natural environment how it actually was. I love photos shot in rain. So much atmosphere. Excellent shot.

I too love inclement weather images. This one is very nice, great pose, setting, and of course the rain. Although I'm sure it was dark like this I agree lightening the image a tad would be good. I would also have preferred a slightly better HA. All in all very nice, glad to see you are not afraid of going out when when the sun won't...

Completely agree with Daniel & Stuart on lightening but love the environmental/weather factor here.

Pose, composition, rain drops, layered BG, mood...lots of things to like.

I dont mind the head position here. Some selective sharpening of the bird will help, I think.
