@baobab: Thanks baobab, it was a lovely old Nikon 300mm 4.5 AI manual focus, about a 460mm on my D300, fine quality and the shot was at f4.5, full aperture on a very gray day.
nice lens... I am most impressed by your eye and your ability to focus on fast action.
my better half on the couch beside me said "WOW! that looks like a painting!" high praise from someone usually quite blasé about the parade of passing photographs.

@baobab: Thank you baobab for your comments, my manual focusing is not that good anymore but hey, take a few and you begin to get the old hand in again, happy New Year to you and your good lady wife.
