Drying off!

Black - capped Bulbul. Drying off after a bath.
Canon 40D

Can't even out the bg anymore - I lose the detail of the drops.

Looks very good Jeni Clean complementing bg, good pose and love the water flying about !!! Personally find the selected shutter speed pleasing but easy to change with IOS according to taste !!!

Jeni, nice capture. I like the action -BG nice as always!

[Gus Cobos]

Well done Jeni,
I like that ruffled look with the water droplets flying all over the place. The wing and body blur is cool...:cool:

Totally agree with the above. The eye is sharp, which is the main thing and the blur and water droplets give a pleasing sense of motion. Well done.

Cheers.
