Nice shot Will, love the frosty heather too!. Bird looks good, i think a little adjustment on the white lores would enhance a little. Is the bill sharp - just wondering of part of it had missed the sharpening mask??

Very nice. I love the frosty heather and this fact the the color of the heather comes through in the BG.
Your grouse pictures are so pretty.
Bird looks great and I see what Jonathan is seeing but that is an easy fix!

Nice frame of this grouse. Love the frost and the pose. Nice detail on those feathers as well.

[Dorian Anderson]

Beautiful bird and frosty scene. The bill isn't perfectly sharp, and noise seem to be robbing you of the finest feather detail (slow shutter probably played a hand as well). Would you consider a wide drop? Bird is rather cramped in the
frame, I'd love to see a bit more habitat, and a loser crop would help minimize some of the fine detail issues from shake/noise.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Like this a lot, William. I agree that the shot might benefit from a loser crop. Beautiful foreground and background.

I like the frosty look, really nice subjects, I agree it needs some sharpening..
