You caught this one just right. Time for you to lead a DPW on panning. Love this one! Congratulations!

This is all pro! You even stopped his leg muscle. I'm sooooooo jealous! You must take me with you next time.

Anita, I'm an admin for a group called Photography, Digital 100 Examples (see rules, Creative Commons A, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Lesson: The background blur is terrific here at 1/80th! This is a good Digital 100 example for how to capture movement action in sports.

Congratulations Anita! this is a winer "Lance Armstrong announced his final? retirement from pro cycling this week. Anita's Lance shot from the 2009 Tour of CA time trials in Solvng in 2009 shown here has now passed the 7,003 view mark."
1/80th sec. exposure f/16 really worked here w/ your panning...
