What else can be said. I'm with Morris.
Awesome Action!

All are awesome Don! The second kayak image is my fave (Vail again). I like the crispness and the feel of tension and strength. I would probably clone out the climbers tuft of hair in the extreme bottom left in the first. Looks like an active summer!

Really like the lab and the kayak shots. I like the sense of motion in the first kayak shot. All are great. Want to hang out this summer?

That's an impressive set of action! I love the motion blur in the first kayak shot.

The first of the kayaking images gives a real sense of kinetic motion; my favorite of the bunch. Possibly a little increase in brightness and contrast.

These are all outstanding, Don! Really like the first kayaker and the leaping hound. The second biker is cool, too, with that impressive backdrop.

Professional caliber work right here, Don!
Morris stated exactly what was on my mind. This is as good as it gets, IMO.
I have no clear favorites...I like each and every one!
Terrific shots all, Don! I really like the motion-blurred kayaker, and the dog is a lot of fun. Those mountain bikers are completely out of their minds.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments.
Jody: I haven't shot much since late October, a few winter shots from a couple of weeks ago is all I've managed. I've been having some work done on our house and it won't be complete yet for probably another month.
Lance: I'm always open to hanging out with anyone. My schedule doesn't always allow for meshing well with the average person's work schedule, but when it does I am always excited to do so.
Doug: You're spot on, I increased the brightness and added some contrast to that blur shot and it definitely made a difference. Thanks for the suggestion!
Jeff: You have a sharp eye, I never noticed the hair before, I guess I was too focused on the hands and arms. Thanks.
