Epsom Derby candids

Morning all. Spent Saturday afternoon on 'The Hill' at Epsom, overlooking the racecourse. Great atmosphere too! We were too far from trackside to get any decent equine shots, so I spent the afternoon shooting candids instead, something I've never done before, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's a selection:

And the Queen popped in too (I know it's not a good shot, but she was about 300 yards away!)

Comments welcome - thanks for looking

Her Maj is looking radiant in a nice pink colour outfit.............. oh sorry, thought I was Jenny Bond then.

....lovely outfit it was too....and that was about as much of a smile as she gave all day!

Any more thoughts, folks? I'd really welcome the feedback, negative and positive :shrug:

Great clarity and colours :clap:

All good shots Mark - and well done for getting Her Majesty to pose

I really like them. 4 5 and 6 shows, for me, that they are really enjoying themselves.

Did you get a visit from MI5 - looks like the Secret Service guy next to the Queen has spotted you!
