2nd to last is probably the most obvious.....
Pretty hard to pinpoint the others.
But that's the point.
Reality is much different to WW2 movies.

"Well, you're already buggered mate."
Its not the bullet with your name on it you have to worry about.
But the one addressed:
"To Whom It May Concern"

Can't say that I have seen them, but some would have taken hits from my grenades  Ah, but how do I know there really is even a sniper there? Maybe it's psy-ops to get me to waste my grenades and ammo?

All you need to do to psych everyone out is put dogs in ghillie suits and let them rummage around the countryside

The images are crap. Too small and without enough resolution.
Give me a full screen 1080p image and then we'll talk.

Can't say that I have seen them, but some would have taken hits from my grenades IF you could get into throwing range that is.

i didn't see any snipers but that doesn't mean I'm blind as a bat cause i would of gone around all those deadly snipers by having trusted my instincts & suspected it was all too quiet and foreboding

So how does that work with thermal sights? Granted, its hard to tell a small fuzy critter from a bit of exposed person. I guess just shoot everything... If in doubt, nuke it from orbit

This collage of finding the sniper in these pictures is not very useful. As others have said, the resolution isn't adequate. Furthermore it doesn't apply watching for movement or lack of it. Vegetation moves with the wind or because of physical contact. You can't watch for it in the pictures. Cut vegetation acts differently by stiffening since it dries. Color and natural shape changes as well, requiring the sniper to change it occasionally. It doesn't show give-away flashes or personal movement.
One thing it does show is that snipers avoid using the highest point or obvious concealment.
Kind of a "meh" excercise.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
