Great shot! That must not be easy to get exactly right with an MF 400mm! The 'backfiring' is icing on the cake, of course...

Excellent action and reflexes!

I like the way the car is isolated in this shot, it's often difficult to eliminate advertising signs, etc. Nice and sharp too. ...Wayne

Very well executed shot. I imagine the ratio of keepers to duds isn't so favourable in this sort of situation.
