It was one of those very early mornings after a night of steady snowfall, without wind, which is rare in the Sirdal mountains of Norway, where the photo was taken. I was preparing to photograph snow buntings when two black grouse landed in some distant trees. I approached carefully and took the shot between two tree trunks, which added to the bokeh effect.
