Beautiful photo! I'm glad that it won a ribbon!
Just two questions that I "have" to know now LOL Was it rain or snow (my guess is rain given the background) and secondly, was this taken through a window? :) Just curiosity now. :) |

Haha, he looks like he has completely lost his mind! the eyes are like: "Aha! I see you now, cone! I... will... kill...." But his claws/legs are still sane, realy holding on the that rock there, going: "wtf have you been smoking lately? Your own feathers?" Feathers going: "No! We abandoned bird long time ago! I suggest you do the same!"
I don't know where I'm going with this. Was at a Eddie Izzard gig recently. Anyway, 10 and a fav from me. This is an AWESOME bird photo! |

| Wow, what a great action shot that is quite different from the typical flying raptors! Look at all those ruffled and wet feathers! You captured such great detail in this nature shot. I have nothing to critique so I am simply going to take another moment to sit back and just enjoy looking at this wild bird trying to get dry. High marks! |

| I'm normally quite tired of seeing wildlife photos, mainly because they are usually zoo shots of pretty, perfectly groomed animals. I think that's why this one is an exception for me. The wet, ruffled bird just somehow really grabs me. :) |

| Stunning wildlife shot and the snow falling just creates that extra bit of atmosphere and reflects a bit of the harshness of enviroment but also the tenacity of these birds..Wild animals in general as well. Light on eye good. 7 Looking at us would have aded just that much more for me at leats |
