Nice mate. I think they could benefit with a bit more saturation and contrast. Really like the 1/40 pan, well done. How many keepers you get at that speed?? I like the idea of the last shot, but the shutter speed is to fast and the CA (as you pointed out) distracts from it.

The catch fence isn't slowing you down though!

Nice shots. I particularly like the last one. Nice outline of the tyre, showing the "air".

wow, the panning shot is really impressive. <3 it. The second shot, IMHO, will look much better if you tilt the camera to create some motion "imaginary" line.

Thanks Raskill,

I thought that too, but in the past I have overdone it!!! Looks like I need to find a common ground

Thanks for the comments everyone else!
