nice sharp and colourful with interesting content ...

1st photo is dead-on focus! The background is a bit distracting. But for these kinda shots, one doesnt' have much control over it anywayz.
2nd photo is

First one is excellent! It is a pity about the background... if you could isolate it it would make excellent stock.

Nice photos. What is the guy in the second photo doing?? The first photo could easily be isolated with a good program for masking...

Agreed, first shot is great!

Yes, if i was good at PP I might be able to try that

The street performer is dislocating both shoulders so he can fit himself through that tennis racquet. Quite fun for the kids to watch.

Lovely images! I disagree that the background is distracting because it is not a portrait as such. The background is that "a background" providing a context on the overall image telling us that the action happened in a public place, possibly a garden somewhere. The second photo is interesting from the point of view that the subject is holding an unusual posture, but it lacks the excitement and action of the first one.

Are you lugging that hefty 120-300 lens around southbank Darren or is that a differnent lens?

Cheers,

lol, no, the 120-300 would probably get me arrested. It was my new sigma 50-150 on its first outdoors trip, i got it for exactly this sort of stuff.

This was at 150 at 2.8 too so I'm happy with it's sharpness.

Yes, again, first shot is great with the focus and the angle, but you're using a D300 so I'm not so surprised about the focus now.

Fantastic. I really like the first one with the little kid. Great capture.

fantastic shot...
is it real or directed it sure looks real
I hope many more funny pics like those will be uploaded

I think that one of the kid and the fiver is a stunning piece. Well done!

boy, this one got resurrected from the dusty past !!

It wasn't staged per se, though I had a fair idea what was going to happen

love number one, and i hope the guy in number two got stuck, serves him right for trying to climb through a tenis racket

Well done Darren, number one is definitely my pick here! The second just looks too painful
