    Must have been an overcast day. Everything looks flat to me, except for the last one. I didn't think MX'ers liked to get muddy?rolleyes1.gif

    I'm not a photoshop expert, but maybe you can make them pop, with post processing.

    I've looked again and I must of had some direct light on my monitor, the first viewing. They look better than what I orginally remember. Nice shots.

    I like #5 the best. The panning blur gives it a sense of speed. Tricky shot! And a good crop/composition. But they are all pretty nice.

    Thanks everyone.

    I have found every sport you photograph you need to learn how to shoot that sport. I have done a lot of hockey and some football. I recently did my first rugby game, and was really flummoxed trying to get good shots, because i did not know the game well enough to follow it.

    Thanks again!

    These are all good!

    Do you ride?

    The reason I ask is because you do not need to *learn* how to shoot that sport, you need to know how to play it...

    Keep up the good work. I'm impressed in how you've come along.

    yay, my first post... lol, yeah, i race motocross and the one thing i found is some of the photographers are taking pictures of the wrong things on the track.. you have really good pictures which leads me to believe that you have had some experence with the sport. just a tip if youre ever shooting races, there is more action in the turns than over jumps, turns win the race. anyhoo, good job thumb.gif
