The first shot is my favourite, but for me I don't really like the frames.

The first bird in my 'birds' gallery (the one with the rosella on her head) wouldn't agree with me going to the races for anything but the cars  If I came home with photos like yours I'd be banned for life.
More pics to come this Monday/Tuesday I hope

These photos are terrible and should be banned this instant!!
However, please feel free to post as many as possible for the censors to inspect, prior to any final banning decisions
As for the frames, I like them, though Im not quite as fussed on the font. I guess you have used the same font as from the F1 website to keep with the theme?
Smile; it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

I like them, but then, I'm male and they all look like the make the grade. Except that guy of questionable sexuality using the canon...
The very last image is fantastic. Like Wendel said, it looks like a posed shot, the contrast, colours DOF and sharpness are all great. Well done.
Feel free to post more if you got them!!!

thanks guys for positive comments! im excited!
fyi, there was some photoshop magic involved in all these pics
these birds were very hard to capture, i bet worse than the one with wings
one second they are there, the other second they are gone. *vanish*
the one im sure i did right was to look at me before i actually shot the pic. or maybe them girls like nikon  (another reason to get yourself a nikon)
ok i got some more awful pics for you all. i just got back from gym, need to eat first
funny enough nobody has asked me for more pics on cars. guys this is grand prix
stay tuned

I'm no big fan of frames, but these ones I actually like. They're almost like no frame at all, yet perform their intended function.
Cheers
Steffen.

Sadly it is seen from time to time on our TV, it's somewhat like a car accident - while I should look I can't always help myself. Seeing people that seem familar drives me nuts though, so I'm glad I worked out where I'd seen her.

I actually watched Big Brother for the first time last night after talking to LOZ... something about plastic fantastic..
Amazing its lasted this long... i only watched it for 5mins, got bored.. so went back to watching Animal planet.. had a thing.. the life on birds or something.. bit more interesting then talking about chocolate scented skin lotion
