I really like the greens of the bird, and the rain while subtle I think still lends to the overall photograph. The bird's head in the larger version is a little soft. Thanks for posting this!

I don't mind the rain drops, it makes it even more natural. Agree with James that the head looks a bit soft. Overall a nice picture.

Nice shot of a blue dacnis. Good color. Agree that in the larger image the head is a bit soft, but still OK IMHO. Thanks for sharing.
