Wattled Jacana

Gallery: AvianPosted September 19, 201574 views12 comments

I love any kind of shorebird so I enjoyed the jacana. I would have liked to be down a bit lower but the shoreline was too muddy even for me to get lower !!!! Also the light wasn't ideal. In Brazil with Nate.

Nikon D810, 300 2.8 plus tc f 5.6, 1/1500 ISO 320

Thanks for looking and critiques or comments appreciated.

May, this is a beautiful photo. The water, the droplets, the reflection, and that amazing foot! Nicely done!

They do have amazing feet. I have some of the juveniles which are even more interesting which I will post once I get them processed.

That's a beauty May! This works better than a low angle in this case with the whole clear reflection, what a great look at the feet of this bird. devil

Outstanding May! The water looks like glass and the details in the Jacana are amazing. The feet are very cool, well done! devil

Very interesting image, May. Love the pose and great look at toes. The angle allowed you to get the reflection, so it turned out well after all.

Cool species artfully captured. Love the raised foot. Thier feet are amazing and certainly assist them in lily trotting. Well done.

I saw these animated guys in Argentina when I was there, but never got this kind of view.

This is certainly different to our African Jacana, but still has the rather large feet, perfectly captured here devil
