This guy sure can flex. I loved the rain drops hitting the feathers.

Pedro, where do you go to capture these pics?? You always have nice wildlife shots.

Kris,
The wildlife is all around you. You just have to be willing to shoot it. I took my little cousins to the zoo, that's where this was. I think you just need to be on the lookout and you will see what i mean.

Nothing get's past you J, lol. Maybe i should have said captive life, lol.

In either way, the birds feathers are very reflective. Since it was out in the sun, the dynamic range of the camera is more often than not exceeded. What i did was spot meter on the bird, so that the highlights do not get blown out. I then brought out the shadows. It's always better to underexpose a bit, rather than over. Once you blow out a highlight it's gone forever.
