Sharptail Grouse on a lek shot in North Dakota. That time of year again when the birds are busy for the upcoming breeding season.Snow is nice to shoot in but can be hard with the elements crucifying ones body. Maybe a little too much on top,but liked that blue sky. Processed with Dpp 4,Photoshop. Thanks for the comments and critiques.

I really like this Kevin, I would be inclined to reduce the highlights/exposure on the whole of the background and for the snow I would get a little texture in there and enhance the grasses very slightly, love the colours, tricky shot but well done.
Very well done Kevin ... love the low POV and glad you managed the subjects in the focal plane .
Well controlled exposure with a lovely overall color palette . Love the blue sky BG .
I would not change a thing here ....
Cool work

The snow with the grasses make for a superb setting and photograph. Beautifully processed.
