look at those feet! Yes this is a very colorful bird with good detail nice Head turn, and nicely placed in the frame.

Excellent detail, Sandy. I like the pose and the raised foot really shows it off well. The differences is plumage in Jacanas without significantly changing structure from one part of the world to another are really cool.

I’m envious of all the colorful birds you’ve been showing us. Good pose showing off those enormous feet.

HI Sandy, crazy big feet and I like the muddy water drops. Beautiful colors on the bird and a nice pose overall.
