    Very neat looking bird. The dorsal view is very nice. Great background as well.

    Lovely colours throughout. Especially on the bird. Nice flight pose, but I wished the HA was better. Those trailing legs and feet are beautiful.

    Spectacular bird, pose, and capture. The feet and the back look slightly sharper than the head. What says Arash and Isaac and Dan and the rest?

    Hi Debapratim, great wing display, and well exposed on the darker colours. Typical large feet for one of the Jacana family species. I agree with Artie that the feet are sharper than the head.

    Very nice top side view of this jacana. I love this species. It is a favorite to see every time I have been to Asia. Those huge trailing feet are so cool. Wish you had more depth of field as the whole rear wing is out of the focal plane and it looks like the head is just outside of the area of sharpest focus as well. Still a super cool image. How much of a crop is it?

    love the pose and wing position. too bad he'd just passed us a tad and the head and back do not look sharp to me. it could be from sub optimal processing, not sure

    Thanks Isaac for your valuable opinion,its not more than 30% crop,yes the upper wing was not in same focal plane though I tried with f6.3.

    I had to reduce the processed file size from 1920 to get a near 600kb file which has created the mess,Thanks for your opinion Arash.

    Cool Bird. I like the Eye and not so much on the lower part of the image...

    Awesome colors on the bird.

    Thanks for sharing it.
