As per usual the MotoX shot is a cracker. The last pelican shot is a beauty too, but I find the border a little overpowering.
PS You never bore me with your bike shots

another great shot of the moto guy.
the last pelican is a good capture too although if I was being pickey, I would have liked the wing tip in the shot.
Dont think that the black border does the birds any good though.

Steve, reason why his wing tip is not there is cos the mongrel took off when i was not expecting it so very quickly took the shot. But yeh thanks for coments and was low light and bloody cold and well took some and got back in the car as it started raining.

Thanks Guys, well what can i say piro,LOL got to be lucky sometimes and well i have been shooting lately more with my Nikon 300m f2.8 attached to D2x. Ok it is bigger and lot heavier but just love it when you have plenty of room to move around the track and so on.

Lovely set of images John. #1 (naturally) is a corker

and I like the last but #3 , its composition/perspective holds an allure, I like it
cheers
