I absolutely love the colors in this Jacana Alok. Beautiful closeup and beautifully captured.
 
A super close-up of this colorful Jacana.
The German name is "leaf chicken" (free translation), almost comparable to lily trotters.
 
Great shot of this beautiful bird. You caught some pretty iridescent coloring.
