Jol Moyur by Saniar Rahman Rahul

Captured within the unique wetland ecosystem of Tanguar Haor in Sunamganj, Bangladesh, this striking image features the Pheasant-tailed jacana, locally known as Jol Moyur. The photographer skillfully documents the bird in its breeding plumage, highlighting the dramatic contrast between its deep black body and the elegant white wings and golden hind neck. By isolating the subject against the serene, reflective waters of the haor, the image captures the essence of this monotypic species. The composition is award-worthy for its precise focus on the jacana’s intricate details, such as the distinct white eye stripe, showcasing a masterful balance of wildlife observation and technical execution.
