Sandi, please don't fool me again by saying that your stable hands aren't the primary reason of this very sharp and detailed result, ☺ ☺ ☺ .
Perfectly timed image too. The result is an 'optical illusion' which has made me think that the goose was performing an acrobatic act for free, my friend!

Dorothy Michaels: No, just Dorothy. Alan's always Alan, Tom's always Tom and John's always John. I have a name too. It's Dorothy, capital D-O-R-O-T-H-Y.
For being a handheld and a long focal length, this is an amazing capture. I used a 100-400mm for work and the 400mm always had to include the use of a tripod to keep down the focus "traveling." Good work, Sandi.
