Juan, did you use a multiple flash set up here?

[Gyorgy Szimuly]

Despite the low shutter speed the eyes is sharp.
Love this image especially the raining condition.
There is some blur on the bill... on my screen.

Good mood with the rain streaks and soft colors Did very well with the slow shutter speed Amazingly sharp ... no flash !!! Might have helped !!!! I think the head is a little turned the other way !!!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

:)No, I did not use flash at all, just the natural light.

I like the composition and background, Juan. The raindrops add interest. I think there is a green color cast in the image. This might seem an odd thing to say about a green bird against a green background, but when I look at the eye, the highlight, which I presume is a reflection of the gray overcast sky, is actually a light green color on my monitor.

Nicely done! Love the rain and the soft green BG. Eye is nice and sharp. I might consider a little selective sharpening of the feathers on the body. Perhaps a little more canvas on the left. I am a big fan of natural light hummer photography and you've done very well with this.

Its funny that when I saw the picture uploaded I also noted the green cast, is weird since it does not look like that on my monitor, I don´t know what to say, but it looks very normal on my screen

Very nicely done. I really like the falling rain in the background of the image. Quite sharp at that shutter speed (good work). I might add just a little more USM. When you have a lot of one color in an image, that color tends to get into everything.
