Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

It will probably stop in mid-air to admire it's reflection and kerplunk! A big wet bird! LOL. Beautiful work on this, Biff.

So I don't know much about editing, as you all know, but did you add the shadow or were you really fortunate enough to see this image as it really is? It's great.

Great timing on this shot, Richie. Did you have the motor drive going? The bird looks terrific against that smooth, blue background, and I love the reflection coming up to meet him. A beautiful shot!
