Common snipe in the lakes area of North Central Iceland. These birds have a unique call. They feed on flying insects.

Is this a composite: No

I like the composition showing so much of the environment. The rock itself would make for a nice image. Excellent detail in the snipe.
I like this a lot. The composition works well and the inclusion of the environment pushes this up a lot for my tastes. Nicely seen and captured.
I love the foreground and rock you captured the snipe on. When zoomed in to the rock, the colors in the lichen are just amazing. The background is nicely blurred, the snipe is very sharp with a good head position and the inclusion of so much environment pushes this image over the top for me.
