"Blue" Snow Goose Landing

A great danger when shooting in-flight images with Nikon D1 series cameras is asymetrically placing the subject in the screen. Because these cameras don't have AF sensors in the NE,SE,SW,NW quadrants, most people use the center sensor. This unfortunately tends to lead to images such as this where the subject isn't quite centered.
