The beautiful game

I have shot thousands of soccer match photos over the years but none capture the sheer joy of the beautiful game better than this player's happiness and exuberance!  Captured with a Canon 1DX III and EF 200-400 extender @ 488mm, 1/1250, f5.6, ISO 500.

Absolutely phenomenal shot! The pure emotion radiating from the player says it all. This is what the beautiful game is all about. Incredible timing and sharp detail, especially at 488mm. The 1DX III and that 200-400 combo really shine here!
