It isn't just luck when the technical stuff is so well done

Unquestionably a great shot. Interesting how luck just happens when you are at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment. I might play with the contrast and saturation a bit, but certainly aesthetically pleasing as is.

Richard,
great shot and luck is needed as well. Even so one will have to make the image and that still requires a photgrapher to be there and do it...

Yipes !!! Fantastic capture, you know what they say, the more you practice the 'luckier' you get !
Memorable shot, I would like to see it darkened just a tad but oh man this is good.

Holy Roly, What a wonderful action shot. Considering whats happening here, I'd say all the techs are perfect. You had a very brief opportunity and nailed it. "Luck"? Maybe 10%.

Hi Rich,
I'd suggest to increase a little the contrast; other than that a fantastic photo
