Snipe

One from this week.

Phil.

d300 sigma 800 iso400

Lovely capture. A very difficult bird to get out in the open in my experience.
The oof reeds bottom right are a minor distraction.
Pete

Great shot of a difficult bird in lovely light with the reflection as an added bonus.

Nice full reflection Phil - awkward little customer well photographed

I never even noticed the OoF "stuff" until I read Peters reply

I have to say, the OOF reeds were a minor concern straight away - but it seems that it's one of those things that may grow more of a distraction once you know it's there.

That sounds really negative I know, but saying all the above, it is a top quality image of a difficult subject and I would be proud with that even if the reeds were fully across the bird !

Nicely captured & well done

Drew

Very difficult species to get good images of Phil, I really like this, slight shame the water wasn't still to get that perfect reflection but nothing you could do about that! The oof vegetation doesn't worry me.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Very nice and well composed shot.

Nit covered , nice image .

Very nice Phil. No nits from me.

Not easy to get in the open these, you have done well.

Have to agree with PhilH, a tricky subject well taken.
