Do you have the AF set to zone rather than single point?

I'm not really aiming for anything. I just have fun with photography and I recognise my limited skills. To be fair though this picture is pretty realistic compared to some of my other pictures. I ...

I kneeled down and supported the camera by my stomach using the flip screen to compose. It gave me a bit of extra stability. Plus the OIS is very good!

Thank you Eric.

Thanks Tom.
