And then the weather got worse
Doc Duck

And then the weather got worse (Cyanistes caeruleus)

You can see how dark those clouds were. It not only rained that day, it snowed as well. Still, I did get a few nice Blue Tit shots that day. I think the dark sky helped saturate the colors. Or maybe it was the wet weather that literally saturated the bird :S

I find that sometimes overcast conditions really helps level out the contrast in a photo like this. It's often better for me(with my bridge camera and its lousy dynamic range) to caoture a bird's eye clearly then when it's sunny. Anyway, a lovely shot of this little beaut, nicely done and tfs!

A lovely picture you've got of this wee bluey... always a delight to watch aren't they Ann.

A beautiful Blue Tit image, Doc! Sometimes rain does bring out the colours if there's enough light.
