Lovely action. The mid air position looks great. To capture this action you needed a high shutter speed. Increasing the ISO to 200 or 400 with a narrower aperture would have been good. Is this a crop? Thanks for sharing.

As you had mentioned ISO 100, I suggested to use a higher ISO. Its good you used ISO 3200, seems the light was quite low.

My first reaction was the same as Mrudul's. Since you mentioned in your comment later that the ISO was 3200, that eliminates any further chance of increasing it. Did you set your camera at Auto ISO?

Nice moment observed. The pose is nice. In these situations getting the focus is critical. Wish you had got this in better light. Nevertheless, it is good that you got it in air. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
