African Jacana, Chobe river.
I quite like the Monet look to this and waterfilm feet.

Yup. Agree with you Marc. Good look to it, and as you say almost painterly. The water film caught my eye immediately. Very nice! Can see some alternative crop thoughts here, but love very much as you presented.

[Joe Senzatimore]

I love the soft colors in this. I might take some off the bottom. Just a little different crop.

[Aidan Briggs]

Wow, great dynamic pose, habitat, and perfect sharpness and exposure. I love that "waterfilm" on the feet. There is a halo around the breast though, and I would also take a tad off the bottom.

[Julie Kenward]

I'd also take some off the bottom and I'd probably consider blending the one dark area at the top that runs vertically between the two green lines of the horizon. The bird itself if wonderful - the film adds so much and the lighting is absolutely stunning.

BG is total killer here , pops up bird nicely , water film is big bonus

Hi Marc, well timed, and love the pose and HA. I really like the pastel colours in this. Their large feet amaze me - no problem walking over lillies.

[Geurt Bloem]

I like the image as presented, opportunity well used for me.
