Wow, you're so lucky to have got a shot like that! I'm the kind of photographer who will look to see what it is, and then watch it, and then kick themself for not getting an awesome photo. It happened the other day to me, when two canada geese came in to land on the river in a light snow storm and I missed it!
Sorry for rambling. Lovely shot, I envy you for having this opportunity.

Better than just good timing. Great crispness and exposure and I love the composition as well. I'm sure it wont be long till you create your second and third shots of a lifetime. Well done.
