Good day,
It´s a long time now with posting here, so I return with this. I think in English is Common snipe (Gallinago gallinago). In Spanish is called Agachadiza común.
Best regards from Spain.

Tomas, I like the pose. the HA & the reflection. I think I would crop more from the bottom & move it from the center. Also, I find the BG too light & consequently distracting as it draws my eye to it instead of the snipe.

The contrast is too much IMO. Cropping is fine with me except the editing. I would suggest tone down the contrast.

Tomas:
Troy is raises a good point on the contrast. It is quite harsh. Nice shooting angle, interesting if somewhat distracting background. I would personally crop up a bit from the bottom and a sliver from the left.
There are some unusual artifacts in the RUC.
Look forward to more.
Cheers
Randy

Thank you for your comments and advices. I did the process in a laptop and in a hurry, so is not a fine postprocessing. Sorry Randy, I don´t know what is RUC.
Warm greetings from Spain.

Hi Tom, Welcome, and thanks a ton for your membership support. You need help in Photoshop :) For the repost I ran a reverse S curve to reduce the contrast and added black to the whites in Selective Color> Then a small crop.
I would strongly yet humbly suggest that you get yourself a copy of my Digital Basics File as soon as possible. If you need help finding it, let me know.
