Went rather click-happy at the MotoGP... but the old (and I do mean old) Sigma never seems to do as well as I'd like it to (I know poor tradesman blaming his tools... but after being Spoilt with the L series 17-40, I really want a better long-ish lens, thinking 70-200)

This is the shot I'm most happy with so far - happy to hear your thoughts/feedback

I'm tempted to retouch out the foilage visible under the belly pan as it detracts a little - thoughts?

Nice shot!
I completely agree with removing the foliage.

A little less distraction...

John, the light and color scheme looks like a brochure! Well done.

Great work with the chainsaw, looks like Lukey Heights.

John, Love the shot and considering using a short lens is great, But the killer for me in this shot is the wheels they are frozen and i like to see the motion blur in them so you know they are moving very fast. It is ok to use a high shutter speed if the bike is coming towards as you don't notice it but always try to use a low shutter when shooting side on. Colors are great.

Cheers

Craig...
sure is - Coming out of Lukey Heights into MG Corner


BBJ...
know what you mean (although viewing the larger versions you can see there is some motion blur on the wheels - but I agree, more blur would have been desirable... next year I guess )
