Really nice work with this bird Jim.

Jim,
Certainly a totally different pose, but it works well!

The POV and DOF work well to define this display against the background.
Congrats on the unconventional view. Hey, that's what the display is, so that's what we should be looking at. :-)

That works is a "that's all folks" kind of way

Very cool and fitting Jim, I enjoyed all of your Sage Grouse posts although I don't think I would be shooting them at 1/500, iso 200 wide open out my car window especially with a 1DX which is noiseless at iso 800. I would have likely been at 1/1000 F8, iso 800 or so. devil
