One from todays workshop near Campbellville Ontario., thanks to David Hemmings for joining us, and all of the help, shooting in a downpour is a lot more fun when we are doing it, as opposed to when we are thinking about it! We sure had an awesome group today.

Beautiful and complimentary BG colors for this hawk. I like the curving perch anchoring the scene. Also like the water beads on the head and tip of the beak.
Ray, like Steve I love the colours in the BG and the perch. I also like the sharp eye with cathclight and the fine streaks of rain which add to the water drops on the bird.
Some people may have wished for space for the invisible tail but I fine with the image as posted.
Ray, Gorgeous BG colors and the downpour is a nice addition to the image. I like that the talons are clearly visible and the details throughout the image are great. Very well done.
