    I like the striding pose, with a great HA. The low perspective works well, and I like the overall colours. I would maybe sharpen the jacana a bit more.

    Angle, setting, light and pose are very good but the bird really does need some more sharpening.

    Thanx for the sharpening requests, I gave it 2 more runs with smart sharpen, any more & the jacana is swallowed by halos, is it improved?
