Fluidr / Willow Ptarmigan... by Brad James ~ Nature Photography

Terrenceville, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada

When capturing images of wildlife I aim to do my best at creating separate between my subject and the background. I also look for backgrounds that are clean and contain no distracting elements. With that said when I spotted this Willow Ptarmigan in a patch of thick alders shortly after sunset the contrast between the white subject and dark background drew me in....I guess it just goes to show that rules are meant to be broken.
