Very nice indeed! Really like the way the snipe stands out from the BG. Good color and detail in the birds plumage. Thanks for sharing.

John,
The larger image shows very nice detail. What a terrific setting. You certainly had wonderful soft light that day.

The setting is gorgeous. The snipe looks a little "crunchy". Nicely placed and seen, though.

John, this is terrific. Great detail and wonderful habitat! It seems a touch dark to my eye and I might be tempted to increase the exposure/brightness a tad but that's personal taste. :toast:
