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

Terrenceville, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada

A blanket of thick snow covered the landscape providing me the opportunity to create minimalist style images of the Willow Ptarmigan. One of my favorite portraits I was able to capture was this image were I used a near by snow bank to blur out the foreground. This allowed the focus to be just on the head and that vibrant red patch above the eye. To see more of these minimalist style images I invite you to check out part 2 of my blog about my outing with the Ptarmigan flock www.bradjameswildlifephotography.com/blog
