Something that shooting news and sport has taught me is that instead of waiting for perfect conditions to take a photo sometimes you just need to compose and shoot when the moment arrives.
This is very much a grab shot, driving along a road and suddenly stop, point and shoot.

I couldn't agree more miss a grab shot and they don't come back. I find I also need a bit of luck sometimes.

Nice action in this one.

Very nice, and I agree, very natural image which you would never achieve if you purposefully set out for it.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Yep, I missed a grab shot tonight by thinking too much and it hurts! Glad you got it.
