Charlie, you did catch that focus in his face. Nice comp. some fill flash would have helped with the harsh light.

Thanks Alan...I just edited my post. I did use a flash, but at 700mm it might not of worked very well :lol:

Handheld at 700?! :roll: What were lens and body used?
A good snapshot for the intense moment, Charlie!
