When taking shots like these - you might find it easier to squeeze the shutter as you slowly breath out after holding your breath. People tend to tense up when breath holding - tense all the way to their fingertips - which often results in stabbing at the shutter. When you breath out, a "wave" of relaxation helps you be gentle with the shutter.

That said, breath holding obviously worked for you in this shot - congratulations!
Thanks for the advice, Captain NH. I will work on that as it makes sense to me. Cheers.
