Hi Daniel,
Absolutely smashing great picture moment!!!!!!!!! Capturing the expressions 
on the men is right on the mark perfect. This is an example of a 
"photographer" who understands timing and has great re-action to the 
action!! If we were still doing FOM2 I'd have this one up as a lead picture 
in the blink of an eye.:-)

No doubt the regular whiners will jump on the "Oh there's too much grain" oh 
wimp wimp and sundry nonsense" instead of relating to the amount of 
non-light I'm sure you were working with and the 3200 film! My re-action to 
this silliness is "Damn look at the picture moment and forget the grain!" 
This is an award winning photograph simply because of the timing and in 
capturing the expressions!
