Great shot! Some kids must watch a lot of ESPN on cable TV.

Great shot and caption.

Mongo is now just waiting to see what the Canonites counter attack will be

[kiwi]

Well, the counter should be least iso4000 under mixed lighting using autowb or it just doesn't count

You are on buddy, have just the thing in mind, especially if it doesn't get busy at work here this morning ....

Not to take any of the fun out of this but is it cropped? The OOF BG is a bit grainy

[kiwi]

Yip, cropped maybe 50%

[SerenityGate]

Great photo. And if the ISO was 4000, there's not much grain.

[Sar NOP]

Great action captured, Darren !
Yep, colours, exposure and WB are spot on.
For a 50% crop and 3200 ISO on a FX sensor, the image looks a bit grainy on my screen...probably from a heavy sharpening.

hmm, I'll have a look at that again re sharpening. I usually export with low sharpening in LR but might not have thsi time by mistake.

Comparing to the 5DII(my only reference), for a 50% crop I thought the BG to be borderline on the grainy side.
