Tough shot to get, that bird moves fast. You really did a great job.

Tell me about it, I was trying a different Continuous A/F setting and the tracking just wasn't up to snuff. I ended up with 450 or so captures and only got 50 usable. Of course shooting down into churning waters at white fast flying birds does create a few problems. Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it, Susan! Thanks for viewing!

Thanks, Jer, My friend! It was more like lucky catch. I was trying different A/F settings than I normally use and my keeper rate was abysmal.....Oh well. Thanks for viewing, Buddy!!
