    All excellent shots, dont see any room for improvement. Looks like their is alot of variance in the course, great for capturing a nice variety of photos. Looks like a fun place to shoot!
    Best regards,

    These are all great Gary. I like your tight crops on these and the poses are thumb.gif. I'm not sure there is too much more you could have done with these in that light. In 5 and 6 the black doesn't look black, you may want to set a black point in those, but then again you may lose detail.

    Hi Gary,

    Looks to me like you manhandled that harsh light!

    The full frame shots look great as does the color/contrast. You must be the busiest shooter in the UK...everytime I look through this forum you've got more shots posted from yet another sport altogether.

    When do you find time to eat?? ne_nau.gifdunno
    Keep up the great work.
    Cheers,

    It's only a hobby at the moment would love to do it full time if it payed the bills
