Your best Grouse yet in my opinion Will.
Great stuff Love the backdrop- fits the subject spot on. Nearly all the feet too !!

REally like how you've captured the bird in it's environment.

[William Dickson]

Thanks for that Tim and John. Its a great Glen, you dont even have to venture far from the car. Also witnessed my first Black Grouse Lek

[Jonathan Ashton]

Will this is a gem you have caught the ambience really well and you got his trousers - very nearly his feet - well done one to be proud of.

This is very nice. I love the dark, moody misty feeling this image evokes.
I really like the composition you chose as well.
IQ is good and the amount of vegetation shown ,really shows the environment nicely without taking away from the bird.
Well done,
Gail

Hi Will, lovely low angle and I like this pose. I do like that the Grouse is in the open, and this shows his enviroment nicely. I also like the overall colours throughout the image.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Love the soft lighting the surrounds and the pose! Just a wonderful nature image!

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi William this is a fine image , love the overall mood and color /tone combo. You caught the bird in a very pleasing setting .
I might sharpen the subject a tiny bit more , for a bit more punch .

You have a wonderful variety of birds you post here !!!

Excellent image William! Great setting and composition. I like the overall feel to the image, IQ and how the head is just clear of the plants.

[William Dickson]
