    Nice action thumb.gifthumb.gif

    You may want to consider a little more motion blur, or a little less in shots like the first 2. The backgrounds are very sharp and the subject isn't. Sort of the opposite of what you'd normally look for ne_nau.gif

    It sort looks like you had the camera on a tripod, focused on a spot, and you released the shutter as the boarder entered the frame. You might want to follow the boarder (pan with him/her). That way you can use slower speeds if you have to, yet the subject will be sharper and the background will be blurred from the panning motion. Sort of like some of the mortorcycle pics in this forum thumb.gif
