Ptarmigan 2
D7000 300mm f4 + TC14e ISO 320 1/500s at f6.3 monopod.

Male ptarmigan behind a snow covered rock. He has already started to change from the pure white of winter.

Many thanks for the comments on my last post. All C+C warmly welcomed.

Nick. :wavey:

Decisions, decisions, I can't make up my mind, which I like the best. I'll call it a draw. :eek: :biggrin: :wink:

I like them both, but I think the original posting has it by a whisker for me.

I like them both, we seem to be having a few different to the norm images which is very refreshing. Keep them coming.
