Superb! Love the raindrops. Shame the background was so plain, but I'm sure others might think the opposite.

Juan Carlos:
Good to see you back. Very nice techs, striking bird.
My personal taste would be for a bit more variation in the background, but it works well as is.
Hope to see more.
Cheers

Thanks to all for your kind words! I agree that this BG is too plain but that was my intention for this one. I will upload another image with a more busy BG later.

Juan, Nice to see you posting again. Sharp w/ a nice exposure. I like the clear eye and I think the background is complimentary.

New species for me and same as others have posted comments.

Excellent work on the dark plumage, and love the red eye, and colourful beak. The droplets add a nice touch too.

I love everything about this but my eye sees a need for a bit more sharpening on the face, especially the nostril and the blue area. The sprinkling of rain is really a nice touch. Gotta love the tamer individuals, eh!!
