Little Auk in the rain

[Krijn Trimbos]

Taken at Spitsbergen. After an intense climb of 30 minutes Jasper and I found a colony of these little beauties. Unfortunately there wasn't any sun that day, and we had to work with a lot of rain. I hope to go back there some day to photograph them in the sun.

I wouldn't change a thing in this, much better overcast than sun, but I guess that's easy for me to say living in Florida ;)

Ohh, this is just beautiful with a fantastic pose. I think the mild, subtle colours is just beacuse of the rain and dull sky. I love the feets and th elook in the eye. Amazing!

Best regards/Bengt
