I'd imagine 1/250s should be fast enough to freeze the ducks, especially if you were panning the shots.

I wonder if the focussing point moved slightly off the ducks when you pressed the shutter. I’ve found it is all too easy to do this!

However, if you have RAW files you can see where the actual focussing point was using:

Also, what sharpening techniques did you use? It might be worth trying Topaz Sharpen AI if they still have a free trial offer and you have a few spare moments.

Good luck!

Thanks for the new LR plug-in ( the older one at

https://lightroomfocuspointsplugin.com -doesn't work)

I used no sharpening but the plugin explains why the reflection is sharper

Fuji thinks the duck is INSIDE the water 😂

This one is a bit hard to explain.The one at the back looks sharper- the focus lock is on the front bird.
