Wow this is brillant Kish!!!! Super timing and detail.
Thanks for your comment on my post today. The Sigma 150 600 Sports is an excellent lense. Beside the optical quality it is a very solid lense which is dust and rain proof (very important for my excursions in Africa) . The Sigma 150-600 Contemporary as well as the Tamron 150 - 600 are not so well sealed as the Sports version.
 
I understand your excitement, Kish! Terrific catch face on! Really a sharp image for that lens (I have one) from such a distance. Bravo!!!
 
Wow, what an absolutely stunning, detailed action capture, Kish !!! Thanks for sharing.
Best Wishes.
