Great work John!
Number two looks really good to me. The colour saturation and sharpness of the bike look great aginst the subtle blur of the background. You've certainly got the panning technique down to a fine art. Panning that is overdone gives me a headache, but you'vw definitely got it nailed. :cool:
I also relly like the third shot, with the heat haze from the exhaust making it stunning.
I never tire of your work - keep them coming please!

Nat, 300m with 2x teleconvertor so 600m on a nice sunny day was ok. I would not use this on a dull day but nice to have that bit of reach and well i wish i had a 600m lens.LOL

Great shots. I wish I had half of your talent behind the camera and half of the subjects talent on the bike.
