This was taken on a lake near my home on a Sunny day with a shutter speed of 1200. Manual focus, no tripod, umm lets see what did I miss. O' it was done with the multi shot function with any one is interested.
These are my fav. shots of bird flying across a body of water. I have many more like this one, I think I could truly sit all day and take pictures such as this one and be happy. I hope that this fits the challenge. I have been trying more to, not so much meet the challenge, but let my photo meet the challenge. If that make sense.

Interesting, arresting shot. I'd have tried to control that exposure a touch further - to get less blow-out on those wings, and i wonder if you wouldn't have benefitted from cropping some to place your subject more strongly - I think you'd still meet the challenge with a touch larger a subject.
