Wattled Jacanas

One of the actions I wanted to catch were the juveniles when they were having a squabble. Here is a not quite perfect capture but I still liked it a lot.
Nikon D810, 300 2.8 lens, f 4, 1/5000, ISO 500
Thanks for looking and critiques appreciated.

I can see why you like it, May! This one is way cool in my opinion! Love the sense of action and movement...there's a definite drama here and the overall colour palette and killer OOF background make it special. What seriously separates it from the pack, for me, is the FREAKING HUGE FOOT coming up on the right-most jacana! Fun (and great) shot!

Great poses in this one, May, and you're really getting some nice angles on these images. Well done.

Love the interaction in this one May. Techs are spot on. It does seem like it need a very tiny CW rotation. The OOF FG, it appears to go uphill from left to right. I am not sure if that is because you had an un-level ground from left to right or if the photo needs a small rotation. Either way, I wonder if a 3% (or so) CW rotation would at least make it not feel that way?
