Hi Robert,
Veeeeeerrrrrrryyyyyyyyy interesting! :-) Well done.  :-)

But I have to confess shooting football action and trying to focus on
the
eyes wasn't ever in my plan for that sport unless the athlete was
standing
still without a helmut on! ;-)

I might add you must have had the luck of the Focus Gods with you at the
moment of this exposure. But then you're a damn fine sports photographer
and
rarely need the Focus God's for help at anytime! ;-)
