This is an amazing feat of focusing prowess. As a manual focus lens with the widest aperture of any 50mm lens, it is extremely difficult to focus quickly and accurately (as you know of course). I can only think you took zillions of shots and this is the one that worked. A dazzling accomplishment in any context.
Absolutely right Tom - I focused on a fixed point and shot at 11fps as my wife threw the dog's toy past me. I have a number of more engaging dog poses - completely mid air for example - where she wasn't in the plane of focus.
It's one of the reasons I got the SL, to be able to get this sort of dynamic shot, my M240 wouldn't have made it so achievable.

Oh what a treat to see 2 dogs in the top 5. Always a pleasure to see your dog as it looks quite a character. The shallow DOF works really well here. Congrats on the HM.
