   Wow, the blurry foreground give this photo a proper voyeur feel — works very well with the prancing bird. Great colours and cool composition.

   Great photograph, but it’s not a sharptail grouse! It’s a blue grouse.

   Nice lines. Pumping up of the red in the bird’s neck and yellow of the eyebrow in photoshop will add a nice touch of color contrast.

   Good pose and nice colors. I do think the oof leaves in the foreground are a wee bit distracting.

   The pattern of the bird’s plumage mathches the log very well, nice shot.
