Resting Snipe.
Nikon D7000
Nikon 300ml 2.8
1/160@fiso500.
Just had my yearly trip up north to my favourite Snipe place not the best of weather but did manage one or two decent pictures.

Thanks for your comments on my last effort and looking at this one.

Good detail on the bird and a nice, clean background. No nits from me either.

Smart clean BG. Dont mind the fence angle as the snipe is sort of looking down but I would try to clean the poo off the fence though :wink:

Hi Keith, these BKG you are getting, they are certainly vibrant, makes the image pop!

Like the pose, angle of fence and lichen, would agree with Bob about some cleaning up, easy to do. looking at the larger image I think you could add some more selective USM on the head.
