Very nice, the background is a little distracting as mentioned, but great shot - love the pose.

That's a great pose, they are a lovely looking bird. Perhaps a bit of selective noise reduction would smooth the background out a little more? :smile:

Thanks!

Have to give the Capercaillie all the credit for the posing and agree, to some extent, regarding the background, but isn't it fascinating how well they blend in?

Hi Magnus,

Super shot with a great pose! Personally I don't mind the natural bg.

Cheers,

Lewis.
