gone fishing

This photo was taken from a pier at 200mm. The bird was floating in the water and I was waiting for takeoff. When it finally happened, I started shooting. The result is this: an uncropped JPEG FINE photo at F/5.6. Shutter speed at 1/640 sec. A Hoya ND(X2) filter was also used.

    Obviously the Jesus Bird; for its ability to walk on water! Nice shot.
