Stilt in the Rain, for Raul Q

[Fabs Forns]

I love taking pics in the rain. I think the frozen drops add to the mood, just be careful and protect your gear!

Gorgeous image, Fabs !
Love the comp with the curves of the wings and you've got just the right amount of blur to go with the razor sharp body.
The background is a great contrast against the bird and the raindrops are the icing on the cake.

Over the top Fabs...great wing position with perfect blur, razor sharp body, and the rain is killer. Great work (as usual).

[Doug Brown]

Excellent job Fabs! Love the way you tracked the bird, getting the head sharp, but using a slow enough shutter speed to blur the wings and the raindrops.

[Harold Davis]

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!! great job, mom!! i love the rain drops. adds another dimension to the photo. and a perfect blur to the wings!! glad you guys didnt get struck by lightening!! looked to be some bad storms in the area.

So nicely done Fabs! You have a nice camera/lens combo as well! :)

I love eveything (as above) about this one wishing only for a brighter red eye (that you might be able to arrange...)

I love it Fabs, the blurred raindrops are an excelent compliment for this image and the green BG is so nice!

Awesome picture, love it. Especially under the rain conditions... as you probably know.

Thanks :)
