No 2 is good, I love the background. It looks from the large size on flickr that there was some up and down motion of the boat on the water as well as the obvious forward motion. This has robbed you of some crispness, but given the circumstances, its a pretty awesome effort.

Looking forward to seeing some more:)

No.2 is alot better imo with no.1 the shutter was just slightly too slow and from that their isn't a definite point of focus thats sharp and does'nt have any blur

The second on the size on here looks perfect!lovely colours

I have to say i think i prefer the first one, i like the colours and the lines. The second is extremely well captured though, can i ask what gear you were using?

love the second. really captures the speed.

Well done on trying to capture the above shots. I know from Skerries yesterday how hard it is to follow and capture a crisp vehicle in these type shots. Shots 1 and 5 on Flickr are the best imo. The others are just lacking the focus necessary to make the grade although no. 2 is a fair contender.

Once again well done.
