    Another great Snipe shot, with perfect head turn. Feels just a bit contrasty to me, and I might consider brightening the iris a tad.

    Thanks Bill
    I agree re contrast. I did leave it to keep the afternoon sun effect, buts heres an adjusted one. Could maybe stand a little more ?

    I like that better; maybe a tad more. And I like the eye too.

    Super pose/angle on this snipe and plenty of great details. Something doesn't look quite right about the PS but I am not the purpose to guide in that direction.

    Nice looking bird and I like the pose too. The re-post looks much worse to me. The OP looks a bit over processed so I might suggest starting from scratch. TFS

    Hi John, great close up of the Snipe, and I liked the angled pose. I like the muddy left foot.
