Redpoll 2
Canon 7D, Sigma 300-800mm @ 648, f7.1, iso 640, 1/125ss, tripod.

I posted a Redpoll just a few posts ago and wouldn't normaly post another one so soon after. But as the first one was taken in completly different conditions with perfect light, and this one in not so good light I thought it was nice to compare them.

Thanks for looking.

What's not to like about this one?
setting is superb as is the rain

Looks like you are getting some cracking images with that lens Guy. Perhaps 'L' lens and equivalent Nikon need to be reviewed :biggrin: The rain adds to another cracker. :toast:

Guy
This image really works well and benefits from the Fir tree being in focus.

As said "Whats not to like" :smile:

Captures the mood perfectly. I like the way the foot is holding the bunch of needles.

Good stuff Guy - can't beat some rain and a dark background to add atmosphere.

Lovely. The soft lighting has really brought out the detail in the feathers and the falling rain adds the little 'extra'.
