Not sure whether the B&W treatment suits these images (the first on my old screen almost looks like a silohette), but I wanted to say I love the concepts and framing in these...

The second shot in particular is either well planned, or well captured, but either way it's a pearler!

Thanks for the feedback Mudder.

Like I said, Im not a huge fan of B&W, but these two were taken with that in mind.

The second one I waited about 10 minutes crouched down waiting for the artist to put the board back up in the air. I want his line of sight to look through the board and to the centre of the photo. I nearly got it right.

norbs, love the time and effort to wait for shot #2 and snap it when it presented, its the standout winner for me.

Thanks Alpha_7. Its rather rewarding when a plan sort of comes together. I might show the colour version too, just so as you can see the details a bit better.

Norbs...your patience was duly rewarded. The 2nd shot is just awesome. Works a treat b&w.
