Canon 50D Canon 100-400 L @310mm, ISO 1000 1/125 sec f5.6
Another day dull a ditch water and it was raining, I saw this as a challenge and I decided to give my 50D an airing along with the 100-400. I had the flash connected for some shots not for others, I think in this case it was on but it didn't actually fire so I have brightened the eye slightly in Photoshop. I applied NR to the background and did a little brushing to homogenise, there is a little NR on the black plumage only. I applied a broad Unsharp Mask to make it pop a little. I sharpened the image in three different ways and compared them and I thought this gave the best result, I await your judgement!!

I like the colours of the BG, and since there are only two visible rain drops, I would blend them away. Comp wise, I can see this in landscape too. Bring up from the bottom to get rid of some of the OOF foliage, and add to the right where you should have more focussed foliage. Cheers.
