Did not get much good 'catch' due to changing weather, lighting and rainy conditions.
Changing conditions are a challenge for my newbie skills. Comments/critics most welcome.

but your #4 and #5 is not SP(d) in red.. It's NTU(2)... Unfortunately we lost to SP(d)

Nice Shots

But I feel they are too tight, perhaps more space in some of the shots.

Nice sharp pictures.
Great job!!

 

[yanyewkay]

great shots. nicely frozen. good exposure.

 

[flash77]

geoyip, you are right some shots will look better with slightly more space, will take note next time.

Thanks all for the comments, much appreciated.

Great composition with nice colours and the shutter speed spot on to freeze the action.
