I think the first 2 could have really been improved with the use of a CPL so you could make more facial detail out.

I like the third one doing a tripod impression. :) Great capture.

And the tyre texture in the 4th is very nice. Youve nailed the DOF on them all very well, all the cars are nicely in focus and the foreground and backgroud quickly drops out. :)

Sorry, Its my shorthand for Circular Polarizing filter, it would take the glare/reflections off the visor pretty effectively, giving a much clearer view of the drivers faces.

Ive got one in my 300f2.8is... I had to swap it out on Saturday morning to a 2xND instead as it was letting in too much damn light... :thinking:

I have only have one filter and it is a CPF, luckily it will fit both the 100-400 and the 70-200 2.8 - shame I didn't use it eh ;) !

Some nice photo's there. It was good to meet you on the day. I have put some in an album on my page. How close to the crash were you? I saw you stood close to the aftermath.
