A snipe, photographed in late afternoon sunlight, and showing what that long bill is used for.

That's simply gorgeous! :)

Lovely light.

Beautiful - great light, pose and detail. I maybe would have cropped out a little of the FG but a very minor nit!

A very good example of a Snipe full od detail doing what a Snipe does in its environment.

Nicely taken David

I would be tempted to lose the OOF blue bits top right

Hello David.

That a nice capture and I like the composition with the bird in the water.

The only nit for me would be to clone out the small piece of grass just in front of the beak.
