Nice image,I would have cropped more from the rear.Yes better light would be better. I can help you get a better location. Three hours from Salt Lake Farson Wyoming. More sage Grouse than any place some Leks two hundred birds.State of Wyoming has Lek Locations online.I have been wanting to go for some time just the distance
thing and busy shooting Chickens and Sharptail Grouse. Good luck.

You needed to point your lens more to the left, but apart from that all looks good. Perfect head and body angle. Sounds like it was worth the drive.

Wonderful Krishna and you must have enjoyed this so very much. I was happy to hear that Isaac was able to come to the rescue for you and get you to the lek...
I am saddened that Isaac is no longer with us on BPN, I truly found him to be invaluable; knowledgeable, always helpful, and would offer a critique along with suggestions and explanations to achieve an improved image and photographer. I am thankful he is my friend and I associate with him beyond BPN. That being said, when i see your beautiful image I think of the story behind this shot and the spirit of being a friend and bird photographer. Keep em coming.

I was also very sad that he left BPN. He was truly awesome person to talk to and helped me a lot. Hope I meet him in person some time.
