Sine you guys were so awesome the first time, I thought I would try this again and see if I learned anything from the first critique. lol :-)

All these photos were taken with a Canon 7D and the EF 35 F1.4L or the EF 85 1.8L. I have some shots from my Canon 30D with the EF135 F2L, but I didnt put any of those up. I had a hard time selecting some photos, I had much more keeper's this time out than I did the first time. I also shot manual mode using 1/640, F2 and ISO 1000.

    I'm no pro. But I think your shots are really good. Nicely exposed. And a good shutter speed to nicely freeze the action, given the limited light. Nice action shots, too! thumb.gif

    I'm not an expert by any means, but thought I'd try to contribute. The middle shots are great but the first and last don't have clear view of face(s). It also might look good to compose with floor visible if they have good altitude. The first shot lacks rim or floor. In general you might want to move your copyright down in frame to make it easier to view the photo itself.

    I think they look fantastic!
    Makes me want that 7D even more! Colors look great as does your timing. Nice work.

    These are much better ... looks like your positioning is better, better isolation and very very good timing. #6 is my fav, try cropping tighter on all sides (just a smidgen on the left) to bring the viewer tight into the action. Good Job Chris.
