That's a great story and a pleasing read too. I like your writing style as well. However, the part I like the best and this may go unnoticed, but my favorite is when you bleated. That there tells me you were thinking on your feet. Had it not been for that, this wouldn't have happened. That bought you those precious extra seconds you needed to pull the shot off!
The page's html warped the photo a bit, I fixed that. Someday I'll have my own interesting story too. Right now it goes along the lines of... "I saw him coming and when he stopped... game over." LOL!
