    Summer tanager. This fellow loves his daily bath. Likes to splash and get thoroughly soaked.

    Beautiful bird. This is a very cluttered picture both in the foreground and BG. It makes it hard to focus on the bird. The bird is sharp and you froze the action well.

    Gail's points should be well taken. There is so much distraction in this image that it is hard to focus one's attention on the beautiful subject. If this is a bath set-up I think you could remove much of the distractions and have a much better set-up. Especialy remove the OOF foreground elements.

    Mack, I am afraid this one does not work for me. too many distracting elements and shutter speed is too low. If you get the opportunity again in good light, it will be awesome. Or set up a perch and photograph the bird on that rather than the manmade bath.
