Love the colour and light. The picture has both movement and static imagery which works well together. I like the use of bright colours against the black and white background of the rain and night. I also like that it is not cropped too tightly

I love the movement and “fun” in this image. A good use of black and white emphasising the wet and feel of the day. I also like the focus fading behind the bear. I suspect this wasn’t an easy or comfortable experience getting this image! Good job, well done

Really like movement... good capture on a rainy day. The focus is good and the bird....Kestrel? Is sharp and clear. And the colours are bright but natural. A good job on a rainy and miserable day where you overcame the challenges

Captures the misery of a horrible day...love it! I like the washed out colour. The rain is oh so apparent. Framing is also good...wide enough to give the whole picture. I think you suffered for your art..well done and thanks for sharing

Technically a superb photo and Cuckoos not the easiest to photo! The focus is crystal sharp and every feature of the Cuckoo is clear and stands out against the the dark background. I also like that there is movement in the image, whilst remaining sharp.

A stunning image. So different. Clear and sharp. The droplets stand out emphasising the hairs on the caterpillar.. The framing and background are good with good natural colour standing out against a dark background . Thankyou for sharing this image

I really like the movement and colour whilst capturing the dreary rain. The colours are sharp and clear as is the focus and contrast. Not easy to capture in poor light and rain.. but you did! I would be happy to have taken this photo.

Great capture in the rain! The Kingfisher is sharp and clear as are the colours. It must have been hard to get the focus so sharp.. but you did. Also the streaks of rain are clear and give it atmosphere. Thank you
