I liked the proud, chest out, display, this one gave me, as it looked out over the Glen. A male in full breeding mode.

Now thats a corker of a Grouse head shot Will, nice one. Killer BKG, great detail and cool to get the definition in the comb, you must have been very close. Nothing to change for me, colour looks bang on!!!

Killer William! Details, and color palette are fantastic. It's topped off perfectly by that proud pose. I agree that this is one of the best grouse shots I have seen as well. I'd like to add that the processing looks perfect here. You have full and robust colors and beautiful soft feather details. This is exactly what I keep saying that shots need to look like. This one looks great on the 5k William. The full res version must be sick.
