Lovely composition Suchet. The rain drops add to the wet effect. The focus seems to be on the leaves to the left of the bird (or is it my eyes playing footsie . .).

Thanks for sharing

Nice to see an image of this bird in rain. A bit more space at the bottom would also have been better. Slightly reducing the brightness and increasing the contrast would have been good. That would also have made the raindrops more prominent. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thank you Roopak, Rajan and Sabyasachi Patra for the comments...

Sabyasachi Patra: as you said i have reduced the Brightness and increased the Contrast and uploading the image let me know how it is... and bottom i dont have any space because this was taken from my Room's Window and that too in between the grill. i couldn't move either up or down

The repost looks better. Nice to see a koel in the rain. Good eye contact. Agree with the above comments. Thanks for sharing.

I think in the repost the rain appear slightly better, though the head portion gets dark. It is a very fine balance and it takes a lot of comparisons of before and after to decide. In lightroom one can do that side by side. No idea about photoshop though. Haven't used photoshop for a long time.
