Red Grouse

[windward123]

I am fortunate enough to have access to three or four Glens in the Angus area and sometimes the Red Grouse can be photographed at the roadside from the car. I was lucky enough to get a shot of this one before it disappeared into the heather

Nicely done WW ... ... not too bad at all for an opportunistic shot ...

 

[sawman]

Nice one.

(you can hear the music in the background!!!)

 

[Cuddy]

Another good photo.

 

[Busby]

Lovely.
I feel like a drink now, but what to have?

absolutely perfect use of DOF, like it

 

[Richard T]

love the colours and the dof

 

[InaGlo]

Im rather partial to that ... love the bg colour and composition

 

[Geordi69]

Good capture.

very nice, the slightly darker section right at the front i find a little too much but the subject itself is flawless

 

[Les McLean]

Good opportune shot, but I would have liked the additional empty space on the right, it's always preferable (IMO) to have the subject looking into the empty space.

You could crop 1/3 way from the left to almost achieve this, and provide a better balance.
