That is a great shot. Aside from all the other things needed for a great
shot like that, it demonstrated that equipment counts. With a 600mm lens
with 1.4x converter, you need really good glass, and the shallow DOF of
an effective 840mm lens with a moving subject demands great AF.

That does sound like a long time in transit but I've seen things that
were shipped by air actually arrive by surface mail before. It may
happen again. Of course that won't help if the person receiving it
doesn't send it back or doesn't send you the payment again. I hope all
