Finalist: David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition. 10th July 2022A

A bit of self indulgent trumpet blowing. My acrylic painting, Wheee!, has been selected by a panel of judges for exhibiting in the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year 2022; 1st Sept to 2nd Oct.

I photographed this beastie from the Colebrook hide (north) viewing screens as it hurtled across Colebrook lake north, some 100m to 150m from me. Even with my lens set at 600mm, the bird itself occupied a small part of the photograph.
