I like this, Chris. Lovely pose and sense of habitat and the plumage patterns and colours are great. I like the space you have given it but I think it could work as a slightly tighter crop too. I hope it survives the 12th!

Hi Chris, love the detail and colours on the grouse, and you managed a great pose. Well placed in the frame, and you show the surrounding enviroment nicely.
