This female cardinal will argue the point. She's showing what it was like here in Indiana today. Rough. :D

Glad to say she did eventually get dried out.

Oh dear. Me and my frizzy hair can't even imagine the amount of work to comb all those feathers back into shape :lol3

I'd apply noise reduction and some blur to the background, Bud.:D

Thank Pyry. She did a good job getting back in shape after the rain. Pitiful picture though isn't it?

Thanks Ric and please be my guest at editing. I haven't shot much at 800 ISO and I do see the noise but.....I'm a poor editor. I've got Elements 5 and Paintshop Pro XI but really haven't messed much with noise reduction.

I guess the shot does look like I put a 'film grain' filter on it. :D
