WOW! Very nice indeed! This is the type of moment if the photographer about to take the picture starts to think instead of reacting ....... the moment is gone and merely burned in the brain to haunt for days simply becasue you know what you missed thinking about it! "You can't think and bat! .... Yogi Berra! "We've come this far don't spoil it by thinking!" Clint Eastwood! "See, shoot!" ted grant :-) We as humans, as soon as we start to think about shooting action moments and picture taking. We should immediately stop thinking and just do it by instinctive reaction! If I may offer, if you look at the new tedgrantphoto.com site you'll see a few photographs that if I thought about them..... the moment would've been lost. :-) It's simple KISS... SEE-SHOOT! Once again Peter a wonderful reaction photo! Good on you. You didn't think about it did you? ;-) cheers, ted
