Titled "Splash & Snatch" this image captures an avocet mid-motion as it flicks water droplets from its beak in a serene marsh. Shot with a modern 45mp mirrorless camera Z8 and a 600mm PF lens, the camera's 20fps burst mode froze the precise moment of the splash, a feat older cameras couldn’t achieve due to slower frame rates. The advanced autofocus tracked the bird’s rapid movement, ensuring sharp detail in every feather and droplet.
