Downside up

Difficult catagory this week! I think that birds are at least seldon shot this way --for good reason.
When I pan to focus on a flying bird with my new camera I aim low. This will correct itself with practice but that is how I got this shot. Although I knew what was happining as it flew across the pond I stuck with it and snapped this one. Not too bad for a reflection.

Thank you all for your very kind words on last weeks entry.They are appreciated!

Dan, it is unbelievable! Never seen a shot like this. Would be a perfect advertisment for your AF! Or was it MF?

Peter,
It was AF. If I was half as good I would have gotten the real bird.

That's the sharpest reflection I've ever seen of a moving subject. Nice image.
