    Lovely shot, Joe. Too bad that the LH spoonie is facing away, but nice that you got his eye showing. All in all, a pleasing frame.

    Nice job with the high key and I love the raindrops. The fact that the head of the bird on our right is angled away from the viewer bothers me more than the head of the bird on our left ... Not much you could have done about that in that instant.

    with love, artie

    I like it, head angles apart, super control over the exposure and detail, a really good image.

    Joe:

    I like the rain drops, exposure, colors. Could consider a vertical of the right bird only.
