Can't fault it, John. Great detail in the plumage and the shafts of light running across the Snipe's back look very good. Love the muddy bill too.

Very top looks noisy John but I am with Andy on this! :toast:

Amazing detail on this one John!
Do think the lighter bottom right part attracts a little too much attention and perhaps darkening and desaturating it a tad might get rid of that.

greetings,

Softenened the top a bit and worked on the bottom RHS.

Good to see the gremlins back again. Predicted it would be :wink: Only 235 though- :frown: Surely you can do better than that :frown:
