I shot this last year when spending a 10 days on the Chobe River. While we saw a lot of large mammals, being on the river gave as many wonderful bird experiences too. This African Jacana (Jesus bird) was running pretty much toward the boat. Shooting with a long zoom I was able to get sufficient blur in the background to seperate it from the visual noise and still catch the water droplets he was throwing into the air is it charged from lily pad to lily pad I like the dynamism of the bird running, and also the complementary colours of the blue and the orange/brown feathers making the bird pop visually All critiques are welcome
