WOW great capture... i love the sharpness on this one... I just wished i had a lens that would help a lot in terms of sharpness but i have to be happy with what i have... have to learn with the bad lens because when i pass to one better life will be much simpler... sorry for just let my ideias out..
This is just a lovely shot... Keep up the great work you have been doing.

Yet another awesome shot from you, these tend to scare me!

The only thing would be - why use ISO800 when you have loads of shutter speed to work on when it comes to freezing action? Of course, I guess this was pretty unprepared? :)

Great timing and focus, love the colors and background. It's all been said, anyhow, I love it!
