Do like the wet conditions you have caught this bird in especially the wet underside,bird looks pin sharp and nicely detailed,think it might be a bit big in the frame but like I said before it does show lots of detail,and of course that is a matter of taste.

Excellent image, Frank. Beautiful bird with lovely whites and blacks. Beautiful colors, BG and composition.

I like the angled perch, soaked bird, sharpness, details and clean BG. Wish the HA was a little better but still a good shot. Well done Frank.

Wow, this looks great for ISO 3200! You guys are killing me with these 1DX ii shots. Details and colors look spot on to me. Agree the perch size is not ideal, nor the head angle, but still this is a really nice picture. The rain drops really take things to the next level. Only other thing is the blacks on the tail looks blocked but not sure that could be avoided in this situation.
