Thanks.....there is a certain mood to this.

Thanks...It was raining pretty good so I got a few trys for the drip. Just after this shot I was re focusing he shook his head slinging water drops of bokeh everywhere. Would have been awesome, but it happened so fast in a blink it was over. Still got the visual in my head, just wish I could have shared it.

Thank you sir.

Thank you Vibeke for your comment. "Effect" is pretty simple - waited till this birdie open all her feathers

Fully agree with you

Thanks Friiskiwi - yes, it's a wild bird. They come down to drink from the horses trough in the late afternoon. I walked slowly up towards them and managed a good number of shots without disturbing their drink. I probably should have cropped it a little but didn't want to chop of any of the background bokeh

Thanks again Friiskiwi - you have a good eye so if you say that it should be uncropped then uncropped is how it will stay

Thanks Shivthink
