Like it Phil.
The raised foot gives a clue to the intensity of these displays.

Very well timed capture; I really like the raised foot and the positioning of the wings. It seems a touch blue on here but I'm guessing that could be the 'frost'?

Hello Philip.

Love the forground and background colours to this and the lighting on the bird is very nice to give us some lovely detail in the blacks, and the calling pose as really helped to make an interesting image.
