“In the Rain” by Tommaso Redaelli

I was studying in my house during the coronavirus lockdown when it started raining. Tired of the situation, I got my camera and walked in my backyard to see if there were any interesting things to photograph. After a couple of minutes, I saw a blackbird on a roof in front of me. I took some photos but when another blackbird came, it started running towards it and made the whole photo more interesting. What I liked about the photo was the contrast between the orange and black, and the white droplets of rain creating movement in the scene.
