Sweet moment! Nice capture...

Although not with best technical quality, pity you don't have technical details and the equipment used Mircea!

Best regards!

Hi Mircea,

Good action.

You've got a good fast lens but you're slowing it down with these settings.

I would suggest opening up to at least f5.6 or 4. That will give you a much faster shutter speed; for moving subjects I like to keep it well above 1/1200 even for the 300mm. 

This should give you much sharper images and keep your dof nice and shallow.  Just watch out for the whites getting blown out.

just wow...

VERY GOOD SHOT

SALUDOS  JB

Very difficult subject. Congratulations!
