Very nice John - great action capture :toast:

Just a pity the near edge encroaches quite so much but you can't have everything can you - nice one :wavey:

Another nice one John,
I don't mind the out of focus foreground, in fact it is a form of compostition I use a lot myself to give some depth to a picture.
