This was really a lucky shot. I wish that I had gotten the complete reflection. The lake was like glass and this bird left evenly spaced double dimples across the surface for about 250-300 feet.

Durwood,

Very nice. Gotta love the job the D300 does at ISO 800 when in the right hands.

Very well done. Did you happen to get a wider shot of the "trail of dimples?" Could be interesting.

I wish ... I spend a lot of time at the lake (it is less than a half mile from my house) and see this bird make this flight often (it has some major large feather damage on its right wing) so I may get another chance to include dimples and reflection.
