Hi David,

Lovely shot of something I would love the opportunity to photograph. Maybe would like a little more room under the grouse to make composition abit more even but I guess that is personal choice.

Regards Chris.

I *really* like this David :toast: the colours of the grouse are really good but along with the muted colours of the tree in the background make it quite outstanding to me :toast:

It certainly was a great trip you had with a variety of images,The tree really adds depth and shows the grouse in its true habitat :toast:

Pity there's no sound! A very evocative scene.The tree in the BG certainly adds to the image.
