One of the typical 'game birds' found feeding in uplands and moorland. Just love their eyebrows or "combs"

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
I like the alert pose, sharpness, eye contact and BG. The reds above the eye are a bit overexposed, maybe you could desaturate this area a bit.
Along with the previous I might take a little off the bottom as I find the oof fg a bit distracting. Do love the pose and composition and I think with a few minor changes this will be an even better image than it already is.
Axel are you referring to the depth of colour, just not too sure what you mean? From my recollection they are fairly spot on.The reds above the eye are a bit overexposed
Thanks
Steve :)

Steve, I like the colour of the grouse, together with how he is peering over the foliage.
Steve, I like this very much as presented. Reds look fine to me and I love the OOF foreground. Gorgeous colours :)
Best,
