    Like this a lot, lovely colors and incl of environment. The beak and front of the space looks a bit softer than the rest not sure why, maybe missed in PP? Love the bee and flower!

    I love this! Such an interesting and beautiful image! However, critical focus seems to be on the leg - leaving the head a bit soft. Doesn't look too bad in this small version though. Well done for placing the bee in the frame so nicely!!!

    Great shot. Nice planning to wait for the bee. Soft head focus noted. I wish the oof stem to the left were not there, but it's part of the typical Jacana habitat. I love their huge feet.

    Arno, lovely enviromental image, and I really like the low angle , together with the colours. The walking pose shows off the foot nicely. Shooting from a boat works so well.

    Look at that foot! Great pose, and real nice composition, Arno. The bee and flower add interest, nicely done!

    What an image! This one has it all - great bg, fantastic specie and environment. That foot takes it up a notch. Agree that the beak/head is very slightly oof.
