nice action shots....... but for my taste they are cropped a little too tight, your subjects need some room to move

Very nice shots, the water looks so silky smooth too...

But I also agree with Big Pix about the cropping.

great panning shots! the tight cropping is a plus and minus, in this case due to the small image size its almost a must but i have seen some great panning shots taken with a wide lens that also look just as stunning.

Great shots, did you get any of the skiers themselves, or just of the boats ? I have to check but I think a mate from work was an entrant in the mens, so I'll send him here to take a look-see.

Edit : Oops, :oops: The second shot hadn't loaded till after I made my post, the skier shot is awesome really captures the speed! :up:
