...or rather very cold capercaillie. Processing some old winter images and found this from last year's snow. Perhaps only for mush and high-key fans?

Canon 1dII, 500mm, ISO200

Well...consider me a fan!
Love it!
The blacks might be better with just a tad more contrast i think though.

I like! I did something similar with a mallard but this is a capa after all...

(Is this the one that got away from our group last winter, btw?)

Have a very similar grouse shot from a recent trip. I like this one better because of its 'expression' and the way that the head turns. I find minimal shots is much harder to get right.
