grouse scene
Taken around evening time earlier this year somewhere in the peak district. An experience that involved me wandering around helplessly on a boggy moor originally searching for grouse and then after dark my car. This was taken shortly before sunset in a break in the clouds.

350D + 300mm + 1.4 extender
1/500 @ F5.6
ISO 400

Top notch habitat stuff here, all those complimentary colours and the Grouse, almost as an aside, perfectly placed. I really like this.

Beautiful! Love the layers of different colours, with the grouse, as Nigel said, in just the right spot. Nicely executed shot.

It's a good example of "bird in its habitat" kind of photo. I like geometric pattern of moor land and bird is in good position. Probably slightly too much to the edge of the frame, but never the less.

Cheers,
Marko
