Thanks guys.

Now, Noyjimi, before you feel so good about your work, let me remind you that in the 1st image, the drummer's seat made the dragon's head look funny and it is crooked depending on the point of view; on the 2nd one, you could have slowed down the shutter more or gotten a better close up of Sporty Spice; the third one breaks all the rules of composition, it's bisected and conflicting, and stuff is hitting the edge of your lil frame border; the fourth one is nothing but a snapshot with the same edge problems; and the last one, ha...think it's good? it's so boooring!!! There's no action in that shot at all! Could have taken it with the paddles raised or something!!!

Good work Noy - rowing on a dragon-boat is VERY hard work from what I hear.:eek:

Thanks. I can believe that - the race is no marathon, it's a sprint and they do it many times over. They're all out of breath whenever they dock to switch out with the next group.
