Amazing detail........... :shock:
Perphaps it is time for me to think about 8400!

Mike,

It is more than just the camera that takes a good shot, I am sure that any camera in the hands of Wing will produce brilliant results. Also a good working knowledge of Photoshop or other similar software is a great help.

Wow, Chak Gor, they are very sharp and detailed.

I have to practice more. I hope some day I could produce better photos by using my gears

Nice photo!
I think this should be taken on either HKBWS or CA managed field. The plant that the Painted Snipe hiding is Chinese Arrow-head.
But this one is a female.

Wow, bravo. Especially like #2 for the details it contains as well as the alertness captured as reflected from the snipe's eye.

Like #2 with clear pupil. Great closeup shots anyway.

Thanks to HKBWS Officer for pointing out it is a female.
Yes, they were taken at the Chinese Arrow-head field (慈姑田)
I think there were at least 3 M & 1 F on that day.
