Just posted a similar on FB. The difference is this one is a two image stack. The tail feathers are out of focus on the original so I refocused on the tail to use later in this comp. It almost worked. There is slight 'out of focus' between the two images and can be seen in close examination. The good news is this was the first time I saw a ruffed grouse displaying. What a thrill. Photographed in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. I do not give exact location for wildlife images, sorry.
