Wet Snipe.

Nikon D4
Nikon 300mm
1/800 @7.1
iso 1600.
, Taken on a day when it poured with rain and freezing cold so that's my excuse for any failings, did worry about my gear on the day.

Thanks for taking a look and your comments and tips on my last post (Snipe) appreciated as always.

That's a fantastic shot Keith! I think it looks great with this crop as it gives space and has room for rain to show in the BG.
I don't envy you for your weather.
TFS!

Agrees with Akos, lovely image Keith. Once again I am in awe on your capturing a snipe in the open on a perch like this. Love the rain in the image. Thank you for sharing.

I like rainy images, and this is a nice one, Keith.

[Bill Dix]

Another good one, Keith. Nice pose and perch, and gorgeous background. And the rain tops it off. Well done.

[Mike Poole]

Thats a beauty Keith, even nicer than the last one IMHO. The raindrops really take it up another level

[Jonathan Ashton]

Keith there aren't many failings form where I am sitting, that's a belter and I love the rain drop in his bill.

The face of the bird is so expressive that it gives me cold shivers :). Good work.
