[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Jacanas, also known as Lily Trotters have immense splayed out feet that enable them to walk on aquatic vegetation on the surface of rivers and ponds. This is the only Jacana species in South America and is found in wetlands with floating vegetation from Panama to northern Argentina.

The image could have been a tad sharper, but was the best I could do with a handheld zoom in relatively poor light conditions

Hi Dinkar,
a very nice picture even if it's a bit soft, as you mention
not easy without a tripod in bad light condition.
Good POV but maybe a bit tight crop and I think the stone is a bit bright.
Well done.
