I like the composition and I like the subject pose. But looks like there is some issue with focusing.

what focusing mode id you use? did you use Alservo?

[Yves Matteau]

Yes i did use AI Servo

[Jody Melanson]

Nice action but the image is unfortunately out of focus.

[John Cooper]

Good composition Yves - placement of subject is spot-on - Pity the focus is so soft though.

[Yves Matteau]

I agree with all the remarks concerning the focus on the subject. Will take closer attention on this issue next time.
