Male Sharptail Grouse Displaying on the Lek
I took this Photo early morning in Nd. I like the contrast the snow gives. Shot from blind on tripod. Photo shop lightened the eye and clone tool to remove small branch. Also added canvas at the top Levels and sharpened.Would have liked more shutter speed but don't like raising the ISO.Maybe 5.6 or 6.3 would have been better. When birds are dancing 1/500 is about the minimum you can get by with.Probably shot around 7 am.
