I love Jacanas and would be quite happy to see this species some day. Your image showcases the extraordinary feet. I find the colors of the bird and the setting pleasing.

Those feet and long legs are ridiculous Ken. Great detail in the Jacana and placement in the frame is perfect. The oof background separates the bird well and I like the habitat included too. Nice work!

I love those guys! I saw them in Kruger but didn't manage any good shots. Love the tones and texture in the environment. I would experiment with a little more contrast as the light is a bit flat.
