Jockey before the Race

Please comment!

like the lens? I think it is not only tack sharp but gives the sense of anticipation. Clean and bright. Well shot.

Nice colourfull portrait.

Thanks for the comments. Michael, you are right. The 70-200/2.8 IS is a very special lens. To put it in perspective, this is a shot of a jockey riding by a few minutes before the race commences. And I don't believe I sued any sharpening mask on this image.
