 Just happened to be looking out the sliding glass door during a very rainy day. The hawk was perched on a swing set in our backyard. I wished he was facing towards me but he was shaking his head so I had a good view of his back and head when he looked around. Every minute or two he would shake the rain off his head. Not nearly as spectacular as JayneRyan’s capture of the bear but a good exercise in capturing the rain flying away from his head. I like the rain splatter on the wooden beam also.

i can just imagine being there taking this shot . and almost being a bit miffed that its for a slow shutter speed and not getting the bird's head in absolute focus . but thats probably just me ..
its a great image for the challenge and you have taken me into this moment with your photo .. good one . :)

Love the colors and shapes! And the moving head adds intrigue. This is a rare
image from me that would work better if the bird were centered horizontally instead of off-center, or maybe have it a little to the right.
