Taken at Malheur NWR.  It was nice to get one out of the water that quietly posed for me.

Canon 7d Mark II
Sigma 150-600 at 484 mm
1/640 at f8
ISO 320

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

It is nice to get one of these out in the open, Allen.  I like the bit of water out in the bill and the great detail in the eye.  I do wish the oof rock in the foreground weren't there, but I don't think it's removable.

Dennis, 
Thanks for the comment and critique.  Here's a repost with most of the rock removed.

Nice to get this one out in the open, Allen.  In a perfect world the rock in front of the legs would not be there,not much you could do about that. Very nice detail in the Snipe and a really nice background. Well done.

I just saw the repost, Allen.  Though it's pretty tight on the bottom, I think it does work better.  I wish I had this good a snipe.
