i hope u don’t mind this but it would be nice to see the full reflection of the bird in the water i have thought that on a few of the skimmer shots
David Orias replied
Thanks. Unfortunately, most of the time I am shooting tight and at slow shutter speeds so I use center point for the AF ad that tends to cut off part of the reflection. But I can see how a symmetrical photo Could be a preference
