Went to the beach last weekend and was able to capture a few half decent shots. C & C welcomed.

I thought you got great shots. The eye in all of them was clear and sharp. Good day at the beach.

Thanks, glad you liked them! I was using AF-C with single focus point. In retrospect, since I was shooting against the sky, using more focus points may have made life easier. That said, about 80% of my shots were in good focus and the AF-C was great at tracking the fast moving birds. I had lots of camera movement trying to pan with the birds, but high shutter speeds and image stabilization worked to maintain sharp images.
