This was one of the first few pictures I took when I got to San Diego Bay. It was raining lightly. A short time later the rain stopped and eventually it got sunny, but I keep coming back to this as being the best of the bunch of seagulls, pelicans, pigeons and other birds.

nice capture of the rain - the first pigeon is begining to look pretty damp.

exposure is a little hot. contrast maybe needs boosted a hair. colors and saturation seem ok.

You have captured the rain so well, shame about the unappealing fence!

This reminds me that we humans have it pretty good when it comes to the elements. I like the variety in markings of the two birds.

Great sharpness and colour on the leading pigeon. Its a shame that the angle of the fence/shot means you could not crop out the third bird as this is somewhat distracting from what is a very good image
