Could have been a better shot if....

[F8&Bthere]

With the kind of shots I expected that day, I had my camera set up in normal/landscape orientation on a monopod. Well actually it was the 300mm prime lens that was mounted to the tilt/pan head. Overall I didn't 2nd guess that set up, except for this particular moment. I'm not sure that if I was using a normal tripod with a ball head, or if I had a zoom lens, that I would have reacted quickly enough anyway, but I got this shot and later wished I had got it zoomed out a bit (could crop later) or in portrait orientation to have caught the full reflection in the water. Oh well, at least I had a fast enough shutter speed to pretty much freeze the wings- learned that lesson the hard way too.
