Andy, you need to give a bunch more credit to the photographer buddy. The proper selections of metering and exposure for the subject, the proper selection of shutter speed to freeze the action and most importantly the desire to accomplish such an outstanding image

That my friend is an incredible shot and I wonder if you knew what you had captured before you got home or whether it jumped out of your monitor when you got home. Either way, congrats and that is one to savour my friend

Andy, this shot should be in a magazine. At the very least, you should hang this one on your wall. Congrats on this shot of a lifetime!
