    A great image ,Jim. Not often seen in the open.
    I love the complementary bg and the composition as well as the rain drops.
    Would have wished for a little more detail in the head area.(Sharpening ? )
    Still a great shot !

    Sweet shot Jim. The rainfall really saturates the colors of the parrot. Fantastic shot!

    Very well done, Jim. The comp is very nice and the rain really adds another dimension.

    Great BG for this bird, like the rain and the perch, the parrot is really good and the flash was just right.

    Excellent setup, Jim. The pose, eye contact, diagonal perch, bg and comp are just perfect. Rain is the cherry on top.

    Hi Jim, I like your choice of comp, and you have captured a great pose from the parrot. Excellent use of flash, and the colours on the parrot look great. The droplets of rain on the parrot add interest, as does the falling rain in the BG.
