Male Pintail - Slimbridge WWT

Male Pintail - Slimbridge WWT - taken in poor light in the pouring rain but a pleasing composition. I often envy those who submit photos of wildlife from "sunnier climes" where high shutter speeds and lens' "sweet spots" are the norm. In the UK we suffer from the dreaded "white-out" skies for a lot of the year lacking any contrast but perhaps it makes us better photographers overcoming these "challenges"? (500mm - F4 @ 1/250 - +0.7 - ISO 500)

 

Footnote: it's pouring down outside as I write this!!
