I love the contrasting beautiful whites in this shot, you can feel the cold and the wind and water in his feathers give the whole shot a very dramatic feel, one of my top picks. Wonderful image!
Very nice! You have accomplished something wonderful with this photo in that the bird itself is pretty common -- but you have made it UNcommonly beautiful with your photography. The water droplets. The pretty high key contrast, the focus and the pose. I just love it! Excellent job!
Beautiful bird, but I find the neck being cut off disturbing...makes him look kind of like a glove puppet sticking his head up through a puppet theatre.
