Kicker Rock

Taken on a recent vacation -- criticism welcome.
My thought -- My settings -- 160mm, f/6.3, 1/2000 shutter, ISO 500, were chosen because the shot was taken from a moving zodiac (I only got two shots with kicker rock reasonably centered) and we also had movement from the ocean -- so I wanted a very fast shutter. If I were doing it over, I might have bumped the aperture to f/11 or even f/16 and taken the shutter down to 1/1000 to get Kicker Rock in better focus.

Good work under tough circumstances, Ken. Your "doing it over" analysis I think is correct, particularly the higher aperture.

Presumably the Zodiac is a boat. Between absorbing some of the wave movement with your body and the Z5's IBIS, I get the impression that a much slower shutter speed would have been necessary at 160mm.

Yes -- Zodiac is a boat.
I did underestimate the IBIS (or overestimated the motion) -- and probably could have used a slower shutter speed/smaller aperture.
