Hi All
Snipe taken from car window. It was a very tame bird as I had to reverse back to get it in the frame. 500mm Lens at F4 1/640 sec.
All comments welcome.

Hi John
I have looked at this a couple of times, Initially the yellow lichen hits you like being tango'd but on looking at it again i like it i would be inclined to trim the LH edge up to the lichen,A very clean shot with nice BG

Hello John

Wow, what a shot, love the colours. This is not a nit but I agree with Dave about the crop, doing this would be the icing on the cake. Great shot.

Hi

I like it a lot. I was thinking the same as the other posters. Maybe some cloning action.

Regards

Well I'm not a great fan of super clean backgrounds but here it has resulted in a very nice shot. I too think it would benefit from a bit off the lhs. John

Everything been said, just want to say I really like it, the yellow adds a special feel.
