Cool Wanna be model

This dusky grouse really wanted her picture taken. She let me get up closer to her than the minimum focus of my lens.

She's beautiful with great detail and nice brown eyes. You are so lucky she let you get so close. TFS

These are terrific. The colors and textures are just beautiful but what is so striking is the catch light in her eye. You can tell she's giving you just a moment but she not quite sure. Nice work!

Well done, very well taken. Nice and sharp and colours are very nice with the DoF and texture of the bird you got some cracking shots... TFS

Sometimes nature co-operates. Very nice shots.

Beautiful shots, Wildjob. Did you pay her a modeling fee?
