Wow!!

I like 2. & 3. most..

Maybe next time you could try similar type of shots with some panning to show motion?

Snapshots?!? You call these SNAPSHOTS?!?! Man, I would give my left testicle for snapshots like these

Great shots, and #3 really stands out as Erwin has mentioned.

I've done that before, but it didn't turn out nice (my skill lousy lah).

Guess I was lucky, the kite was circling around and I tracked it until the sunlight was coming from the right angle and took the shot.

Paiseh lah ... But you'll be surprise how these pics may be trashed on some other forum.

i can't remember if it's the left or the right one, but Lance Armstrong had one removed from testicular cancer. but he'd come back to win the Tour de France four times consecutively after returning from death.

though this doesn't sound too... palatable, please treasure what we're given...

other forums have different standards.

Maybe after gaining more experience and skill, you will look back and say 'yuck!' when looking at your old photos

Very very good shots, amazing sharpness and technique. Especially like shot 5.

Very nice..

3 & 5 is my favorite.

Like 5 more as compare to 3. Think the head position look more pleasant to me.
