You'll love it mate. Everyone has so much fun. Every time I photograph one I say I'm going to do one myself. Haven't yet but definitely intend to!

That's a pity. Would love to see some of your shots of the event. What about if you watermarked them before uploading?

Haha absolutely! They really are fun events to cover.

Thanks :)

For the record, I think the action part of the picture is superb - well captured, perfect timing, excellent. I'm afraid I stand by my earlier comment though, that the background just takes the edge off it too much, and stops a great picture being a superb one. Is this the OP's fault? Of course...

Amen!

Thanks :)

Had a little play. Here's the before and after. Recovered as much as I can. DJW_0993 combined by Dean Woolley, on Flickr

Fair point about the highlight. I'll have a play to see if I can recover it a bit.
