Hi Dennis

It has been a thrill to see this Greater Sage-grouses.  The low angle and open sage makes the photograph come a live.

This has a feel to it. Like a bit of emotion. The comp and focus really draws you into the two grouse.

I love the way these show so clearly, crammed between the OOF stuff and sagebrush. Super fine as is!devil
