Superb capture Keith, just a touch more room on the right for me, just a personal nit so no big deal.

Went Up North yesterday morning to check the Snipe site I use, and found a covering of snow on all the hills and valleys, blizzard conditions too!!!. Didn't see a single Snipe either, I think the site has been ruined by the work carried out to underpin the river bank that runs along side this site

I have to disagree and like the square crop for this one due to the head and bill facing downwards.
A beautiful shot wich i would love to have in my files.

greetings,

I think this would work well as either a landscape or portrait crop, but I agree that in landscape it would look better with a little more space on the right.

Hi Keith, looks good to me, with a killer BKG we all strive to get. Great to see you getting out and about, you are very luck to have this array of wildlife so close. This will also build your fieldcraft too, just keep putting the hard work it, it really is paying off.
