Yes- I think this is the fist shot I,ve seen of one on the run. - and head on too which makes it even harder I would think.
Well done Ken

Love the movement in this one Ken. The kicked up dirt and feet completely off the ground certainly suggest he/she was hauling butt!

Great detail here Ken. The action is great with the head on look and the dust. Love it.
