Here is an image from last. While I was rained on and forced back into the car to head home I had to stop for this guy. I shot this one Handheld out the passenger window of the car.

Hi Eric,
This is very, very nice. I like the composition, the diagonal line of the perch; the slanting lines of the rain, the raindrop coming off the the "toe" and the color---including the contrast with the oof leaves. I'm glad you stopped for this one!
Great perch Eric along with a really clean look at a BCNH! Like the colored OOF leaves in the URC and the water drop on the foot. Here's a repost with some sharpening, levels, and eye work. What do you think?
Looks great Doug! Thanks for the edit it was exactly what I was looking for even though I did not ask. Please tell me the steps you took in more detail.
Love the COMP and the rain and ESP Doug's repost. He could have made the iris a tad brighter...
