The late day lighting was pretty awesome. Harsh, direct sunlight at a low angle, with dust flying everywhere. From our spot on the lawn I couldn't really see over the fencing so I moved to the top of the hill to get this angle. Thankfully my wife knows me by now ... I'll return eventually. LOL I was a couple hundred feet from the action. Took the DSLR to have the crop sensor. With the 200/2.8 and a 1.4 extender I was shooting at 420mm/F4 equivalent.

I think I commented on your image in the Bold challenge too, so i will say that this shot is equally amazing. I like the lighting better in this shot. Hope this does well.
