Love the setting and low angle. Looks like it needs a CCW rotation. Comp is a bit awkward as i feel it needs space taken from the right and put on the left.

Some great colors in this shot but the light seems a bit harsh on my monitor. Agree with the CCW rotation and the comp suggestion from Alan. I might also look to tone down slightly the oof flower in the background as it competes with my eye when I'm looking at the bird.

Sharp, light looks well handled for the most part, maybe a tad bright on the flower head. Loving the upturned flower head that seems to of caught the birds attention with the Jacana standing close to it. The crinkled Lily leaf is a nice addition to the shot. I think maybe a CCW rotation is needed and as far as composition goes i think it would look nicer if the bird and flower were on the right with more space in the direction it is facing

A very beautiful setting you photographed this jacana in! Very nice low angle too. The subject is sharp, well exposed. I do feel a better head angle would have given you better light on the face. I agree with CCW rotation and placing the subject further to the right in the frame (more room in front).

I like the shot I wish he had a little more space to walk into, simply flipping the image laterally may improve presentation. I think some CCW rotation is required. You have captured terrific detail in the plumage.

I like the low angle here and the one lily up front. I too would have liked the space on the left instead. Never had a chance to shoot one of these yet.

Thanks a lot.
Ok for rotation ...about the space in front of the bird it is right but was very difficult take right shoot because the bird was shine and I was inside a little canoa moving.
Now I tried to make more space (for example using Aptats istuction)..but the attacched space wasn't good ....

Sweet image Giovanni - agree with above comments, plus maybe a little more headturn would have improved further - lovely shot though!
