That's quite the position.

My original thought was that a little better crop, say a 1/4 off the bottom, would have helped the "wow" factor a little more, but testing that theory with the browser slider bar showed me that I would be wrong. A great action shot, very precise and detailed. The areas where you would expect to see white washout are perfect. Almost no obvious motion blur at all although there is some - you just don't see it naturally, but have to look for it. Great image - great action shot. Well done.
