This is art RD ! You B&W version is nowhere near The etched dots and light gives a unique feel while birds are grounded in reality. A little more space on the right would have added, I think. Thanks for sharing.
Lights emphasizing rain drops is very beautiful. Grounded storks add a lot to the image. Certainly some more space to the right would have added. Fantastic image!
Lovely expression. They seemed to be waiting for it to stop in such a disciplined way . Another artistic point is the echo of thier posture. Almost as if one Stork has been cloned and posted. This should be paired with a group of humans waiting for rain to stop

Colors and light is too good. Has a very nice mood and feel. Another awesome frame. I liked better definition of rain in B&W version and better definition of birds here. Thanks for sharing.
RD ! You got the raindrops just right. Almost seem like snow flakes here. Beautifully seen indeed ! Also, you can crop a little off the left edge o "balance" both sides of the frame.
