I do wish you had ticked, upload full res.

the action itself is nice... the ladies are a bit dark and it would of been better to get them running at you and given them more running room into the picture and not out of it.

You're absolutely right, but I wasn't allowed to get any closer to the tracks. This one I shot with my 18-55mm lens from quite a distance. No, I'm not looking for excuses. I just have to part company with this silly habit of mine that has me uploading whatever picture fits a certain topic, regardless of its quality. Thanks anyhow.

I don't think its a problem with the proximity to the track or the lens.. they all seem to be fine.. when i shoot an event that i normally don't shoot, or have never shot, I get there early and scout out photo locations that will work for what I want. Just takes a lil practice and time... you will be fine, at least your trying... keep it up you will get there... can't get that award winner without trying. Keep shooting

Mighty kind of you. Thanks
