Really neat bird and looks like you captured a fair amount of detail in the feathers. The photo however seems a little flat. I think you could improve that some in your post-processing.

Greetings, Chuck...Wow that Jacana has some seriously large feet. I wish the feet were a bit more visible, but this a minor nit. Your composition is fine and it looks like you had very soft light allowing the colors and feather detail to be well displayed. Well done.

A great bird, and I like this view and composition. Nice image detail as well. I agree with Tom about wanting to se the feet a little better. I'd also go a touch darker overall here.
I've been fortunate to see two of them here in AZ, and to get a lot of nice shots of the second one. It is a bird and an encounter that will always rank high in my experience.
