    Very nice light, eye contact and leg´s pose. The light angle is fantastic and I like the habitat with the dew drops (?) in the grass. I would run a noise reduction filter to the BG. :)

    The Jacanas are such interesting birds and I love the action you captured in this image and the beautiful colors and detail. One of the best Jacana images I have seen. Thanks for sharing.

    Well timed to capture the raised foot, and you were fortunate to get him in the open amonst all the grass. The colours look good.

    Only thing I didn't see addressed was sharpness- I would go another round. (But I'm on my work computer so take it with a grain of salt :))

    Love how you got him in mid stride!

    Thanks for all the comments.
    Judy, I do not think this is "one of the best" but it is certainly the best I have ever taken.

    An incredible looking bird!! Wow! Great that you captured him with his foot up, those toes are so long!
