Battling with the Elements! - a photo on Flickriver

Battling with the Elements!

            I'm trying to get some shots of this beautiful 'Black Crowned Crane'.
But the weather is turning nasty, with blustery winds, and rain showers.
But as the Crane got wet, it's feathers looked very spikey!
It was an interesting look that I really wanted to capture?
So I stayed out in the rain to see if I could get the shot.
Me and the camera are pretty wet by now. But the Pentax weather sealing is excellent, so no worries there!
The bird just looked better in the rain? But I just looked like a drowned rat!
