So it's a photo to be enjoyed, but perhaps not one for the wall. Shots worth framing need all of the things like composition, posture, lighting, background and perhaps behavior to be in the zone. What I can appreciate is how difficult this shot would have been to make, with an 800 and a moving target and probably handheld in your usual way. In this respect it is nothing short of miraculous.
