Cool! Looks like you were set up to get a nice shot of a big tackle in any case. The ball carrier gave you a nice treat!

You still have to have the skill and right gear to get the shot at that point and in focus.

THAT is a great shot!

What a great capture. For me, every time I was close to
something like this, the player jumped out of my frame.
You've got it all my friend, perfectly sharp, nailed the exposure,
captured the action.

Ha....good quote...I like that ;-)a

Thanks all...I've shot thousands and thousands of frames...I know how rare shots like this come together. But do appreciate the kind words.

Cheers
