With the slow shutter speed it has given this image alot of imapct IMO and I love it :wink: :wavey:

Hi Magnus
I liked your previous post of black grouse fighting but I'm afraid I'm not so keen on this one. It's one of those 'almost' shots where the slow shutter speed doesn't quite work out and ends up a bit in between. It's still better than any of my non existent black grouse shots however.
Good effort!

I like this a lot but maybe a slightly wider view would work slightly better? The foreground OOF grass draws the eye a little as well. Nice action captured though, I know how fast this fighting is. Looking forward to next years Lek now :smile:

Hello Magnus.

Its one of those almosts for me as well, but an excellent attempt and the compostion works fine for me.

Nice action shot. The foreground right grasses distract me a little.
