Wilson Snipe

There is something so endearing about his one legged stance! There was a terrible background so I gave it some "seeing to."
Rain and overcast is back with a vengeance here.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Well done on the focus - love the composition and stance. His head turned slightly and with his one eye is super.

[Stephanie Swift]

Great comp and focus, and the background is well "seen to", fav for me.

Hi Jane, what do you use to get that texture in the background. I like that

[Jane Pittenger]

@lisainstpete I used topaz texture effects and I used an ICM photo of mine and another texture to get the background

[Allison Maltese]

How beautiful against the green.I like the one legged pose.

[Milanie]

This is terrific against that background - you did some real magic to it. Love the detail on the snipe - he/she gave you a terrific profile shot.

[Rosie Kerr]

Something so charming and inexplicable about the missing leg... you did a wonderful job, "seeing to" the background. A lovely shot.

[Taffy]

I love the seeing too! The background is so natural and the bird is so sharp -- down to individual feathers. Really strong!

[Marnie]

I like this shot a lot, the simple composition shows up the bird very well indeed. It's a great background after your seeing-to.

[Barb]

The background looks so good - I'm impressed with your 'seeing-too'! Such great clarity and I love the birds stance.

[Joanna kate]

Like the colour combination of the bird and post, a fav
