    Dave, after looking at this, Ive binned mine. Good angle, sharp where it counts, and a good show of those large feet. I like the BG too.

    Agree with the above. Great angle, background. Fill flash might help with detail in the very dark wings.

    Top BIF Jacana shot dave. Face is pin and I like the blur in the wings. These are tough to catch in flight (even with the vocalising):D,thats what makes this good

    Hi Dave Great capture !! Sharp and well exposed, don't think you could have given more exposure, love the clearly visible eye and overall feel with that gorgeous bg !!!

    ... Richard, in this situation any flash would not have helped, the shutter speed would lower the power output to less than a quarter so it would not reach !!

    Super capture Dave. Light a tad hard but I would like one of these in my collection. Great head angle and exposure.
