• Story of the image

  For a long time I wanted to capture a portrait of a wood grouse on a mating ground in a beautiful background. Numerous attempts to capture the right angle were unsuccessful, which required a thorough analysis of the bird's behavior and adjustments to the observation strategy. Only after a large number of unsuccessful attempts was it possible to catch the right angle.
