These images are just incredible, the colors, the detail, the textures, the action. I'm very glad to have been able to see them. :toast:

Richard:
This comp is better in that the leaf is not intersecting as in the previous images. However the details here is not as great as the last 2. Still a very strong overall.

Great shot with good color and light. Obviously would have been even better with a little more DOF.

Awesome to see her in action! I agree that a bit more DOF would be good to get more of the legs in focus, a it looks like it may have been possible by bumping the aperture a bit. Still a great comp and a wonderful action shot!
