Critique Brighton burn up

[bungle29]

hi all
these are a little late. I've started taking photos at bike shows which isn't easy as there's always someone else looking at what you photographing, haha but these are what i think are the best of the bunch, the main thing i think i struggled with is depth of field (hopefully i'm saying it right? basically blurred back ground) but not sure whether that was the settings i used or the lens? it was the the one that came with the camera from new.
Any Critique would really help.
cheers Colin

Ok seriously for shallow depth of field try a wide open aperture, f2.8 would work fine it may give you a very fast shutter speed in this light, but thats not a problem. hth Mike

I not sure about the tilt of the first one, I think its the way the legs are in the view makes it look odd.

The detail shots of the Triumphs are great

i don't yet have a lens like that, the one i use went as low as f3.5
